I have always wanted to get a bag of half dollars from a coin sorting machine, but never had the opportunity. I was dumping my rejects from a box of nickels and maybe $20 in halves in a coin machine at the bank and my small amount of halves filled the bag. I figured another hunted had dumped their rejects into the machine before me. The lady came over to change it, and she said she wasn't surprised it filled because some old lady had come in a few hours before with pillow cases full of coins she had been saving for years. Naturally, my ears perked up and I looked at the bag when the lady from the bank took it out. I could see DOZENS of silver rimmed coins in the bag and I got really excited. I asked the lady if I could buy the bag, and she said no. So i asked for the mgr, explained that I would like the bag and promised not to return the coins back into their machine, and he said yes 
When i got home to search the bag, each handful of coins yielded some silver. The totals were as follows:
Walkers: 9
Franklins: 10
1964 JFK: 29
40% Clad: 110
NIFC halves (2007 p, d, 2003p)
All in all that $1,000 bag of halves yielded over $1100 in silver
I should just stop now, bc I know this is never happening again.....(this week I also got 5 morgan dollars mixed in an envelope with Ikes from a bank, one of which was an 1878cc).

It will be hard to match the excitement of pulling out silver with each handful. Awesome score on the Morgans too, it's been a good week for you
