I thought I should have something substantial for my first post. I went to the bank yesterday, feeling lucky. I asked for half dollars. One teller looks up and says "I have $250 worth that someone dropped off." Suspecting a dump, I asked if I could see the rolls. The rolls looked old, but I thought, no chance. I opened the end on one and saw a '64 Kennedy.
I immediately checked my wallet and had only $200. So I bought that many, and left the remaining $50 with her. When I opened the roll in the car there was a mix of silver clad, silver Kennedy and Franklins. Needless to say I got another $50 from the ATM and bought the rest.
Here are the results:
40 1969 BU Halves
41 Walking Liberty Halves
65 Franklin Halves
354 1964 Kennedy Halves
The entire $250 dollars was silver! This is the largest amount of silver I have ever found. The BU 69's were a great find. The oldest half was a 1917 WLH. The only group I have sorted so far are the Franklins. Nothing great, but still found three I didn't have in my book. Needless to say I am shocked by this amount of silver.
The best part was the teller was excited to get rid of the coins. I guess you would call that a "win/win"!
