Got a Bag O Halves off a machine today. Pulled 2 Nice Silver commemoratives a couple of Walkers a Ben and some 40%'s

The big Score though was the amount of Canadian I got.

-236- $2 Coins counted as $.50 "Nice Surprise" Casino Windsor here we come.....

That's one way to do it. Maybe you can double your money again at the casino!!!

Ruh-roh, that me friend is highly unlikely- casino's are places gob-zillions of $'s are left to the organized crime syndicate(s) which includes our Governments.

Good score I'd take it to Windsor and buy some Maple Leafs.

Wow, two hundred thirty six $2 Canadian coins ? That were counted as US half dollars ? Given your proximity to the border and the relative balanced exchange rate right now, that is a nice profit (~ $350 ). Kudos !

And yes, what were the silver commemoratives you found ? Kudos on that front as well !

Wow! I would love to find a Booker T. Washington (history major). I have not found any comm. ever. Those were great and unusual finds. Yeah, forget the casinos and cash in for silver and gold!

Happy Hunting!

dang, what idiot dumped those?!?!

When you live in a melting pot like Detroit you get lot's of people who are not familiar with exchange rates? or maybe they won them at the Casino across the river and just dumped them here?

very cool finds!! I like the 1960-1980 double stamps. I've found a few of them in the last six months, 2 of them dipped in gold. Nice find with the booker T!!
