HUGE SILVER SCORE, A PILE OF SILVER HALF DOLLARS IN THE SUPERMARKET CASHIER TRAY!

[coinman123]

I went metal detecting, and stepped on a yellow jacket's nest, and end up getting a sting to the leg. I then go to the Supermarket, and a woman was putting coins in the self checkout station. I noticed a silver edge in the quarter section. I told her I collect coins, and I'm wondering if I can buy that quarter with the silver edge, sure enough she said yes, and it was a 1964 silver quarter. Than she says that the tray at the service desk is full of silver dollars, and that I could buy them. I figured that she might have an Ike dollar or two, but I figured it was worth checking. She then said some of them are worn, but they are from around the 1930's, at that point I'm thinking maybe there might be something there, maybe a piece dollar which would be incredible. Finally she pull out the tray and I feel like I might have a heart-attack, the tray was overflowing with walking liberty half dollars. She asked how many I would like, I quickly said, "I'll buy them all." She said OK, but she warned me that some of them are pretty worn. She took them all out, and put them in piles of two, the grand total, 16 dollars. I had no cash on me, and she said no credit cards, so I got $20 from the ATM, which was only 20 feet away from the tray. Than she hands the 90% 32 walking liberty half dollar to me, plus the four dollars in change, and I run to the car with them, clumsily dropping all of them on the pavement, but I picked all of them up, and made it home.

I almost had a heartattack yesterday, I went to the same store, and asked the woman at the service desk if she had seen anything, and she said that she had a couple bucks in half dollars, and she will get them. I was thinking that she had more walking liberty half dollars, then she handed them to me... all clads.

Also on a related note, a man was using the Coinstar, and when he was done I saw two silver quarters in his hand. I was just about to ask, when he says to his buddy, "Wow, these silver quarters are worth $5 each in silver!" I then saw a woman quickly come and check the tray of the Coinstar lol. She found nothing, but apparently I'm not the only one looking for Coinstar silver.

I found 4 90% silver half dollars in a box of halves today, my biggest half dollar box score ever. Three Brilliant Uncirculated 1964 half dollars, definitely part of a collection at some point (one "P" and one "D"), I also found a 1963 Franklin half. One of the 1964 half dollars was as the end of a roll, the box colapsed AT THE BANK PARKING LOT, and there flew out a roll with a 1964 on the end. A also got two silvers in a roll. I ended up getting 4 silvers, and 90 percent silver. The craziest thing is When I went to the bank to get replacement half dollars to put in place of the silvers, the teller gave me a 40% SILVER 1967 HALF DOLLAR BACK!!!!
