This summer when I was back in the US for a few months I had wanted to do some coin roll hunting as I used to do when I was a teenager but I was so busy I barely had time. I finally decided it was now or never as we were leaving for an extended period of travel. My wife was going into the local bank branch (which I had never been to for crh) and asked if they had any halves. I had asked her to get as many as possible. When she asked for halves they said "how many?" and of course she said all of them. The manager (who is a friend of ours) said "sure you can have them but there's $900 worth in there, we would love to get rid of them because they have been sitting around for years". My wife bought a few hundred worth and told her she would be back for the rest. Needless to say I about wet myself when I realized what a good bag of coins we had struck. When my wife told me they had been there for years and she set the bag (not a box) on the table and I heard the tell-tale sign of silver coins ringing as they jostled in the bag... it would have taken an army of soldiers to keep me from the bag!
All in all we had over 200 silver... mostly 40% but 16 were 90% plus one walker! I took out the choice ones for my collection and sold the rest. At the time silver was in the mid $40 range and I walked away with a cool $1150 cash.
I am ruined for life! This is the best haul I have ever taken and will probably never see that type of silver again!
Anyway, just wanted to share!
