I hit it big monday. The breaks on my truck were starting to make that awful squeeling sound so i popped into the bank to pick up some cash. When i get to the teller i notice a silver half in her tray. I politely asked her if i could trade it for two quarters, and she said " sure, would you like the rest of them?" I said no i just want this one, it was a 1967 40%er, i was ticked. Then she said, "No i mean the rest of the silver halves?, a lady just dropped off some and we have to count them manually." I asked her how many she had, and she said 50 or 60 bucks worth. Of course i told her i would take them, and i waited patiently while she counted them off. I could hear the silver being counted, and would look over from time to time just to see what was there. She finally came to the counter and said, " I was wrong there was $251.00, do you still want them?" DUH. i didnt say that but thats what i was thinking. So i write her a check for $251.00, and head out to my truck to see what i have. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first thing i see is an uncirulated roll of 1963 Franklin Halves.. Brilliant mint luster never touched my human hands. Later when I got home i went through the box and found 140 90% 39 Franklins including the 20 that were BU, and 258 40% Kennedys. There were 101 90% 64 Kennedys, for a total face value of $199.00 Not a bad day thats a total silver value of a little over $3,500.00

makes me wish there were CWR's in my area... the abundance of free coin counters make it so that everybody just brings their coin to the coin counter. I will have to stick with those boxes. awesome score!
