I’ve been working in this retirement community track siding new houses. There is a bank within walking distance and I stop in every Monday and buy all the coin that they will sell. All denominations. Yesterday the teller says she has $190 in halves in the vault. I buy them all of course. Get out to my truck and see a couple older looking rolls. Pop one open and out pour a bunch of Franklins and a few walkers. Open the other roll and it’s solid 1964’s. The wrapper had 21 - 1964 Kennedy written on it so I count them. Sure enough there’s 21 in the roll. My first solid roll of 90%ers. Holiday silver? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1574168118.011336.webp

Senior living areas is where a good chance of silver always shows up.
 

Congrats on a great haul! It's funny, when I mention to young people (I'm 68) that the dimes, quarters and half dollars from 1964 and older are 90% Silver, I always get a complete Blank Look! That might also be a reason that they are showing up at the banks!
 

WOW that is one nice surprise to pick up, so glad you were the one to save all that silver.
 

Solid PLUS One! Someone did you Solid!

Congrats
 

Hey congrats on your find... The silver gods definitely were on your side...

Yeah, I'm younger... a few of my friends know their coins but others had never even heard of a "wheatie" or "merc" before.

Throw out some other code words of coins as: flying eagle, buffalo nic, V-nickel, barbers, SLQ, Walker, Benji,.....That should confuse them enough.
