I went to a couple of different banks today and picked up $49 in loose and CWR Half Dollars and $40 in loose and CWR Ike dollars. I received a $20 roll of Ike dollars which I have never come across personally. 3 rolls of the CWR halves from one bank were different from the rest. These 3 rolls were marked with dates on them. 2 of them were marked with either 1971, 1972, or 1973. However, one roll was marked 1918 (to my excitement) and 1965-1969. I rushed home and opened up that roll on camera. It was an entire roll of Silver!! 19 40%ers from each year (1965-69) and my oldest Half Dollar find to date, a 1918 Walker which was right on the end of the roll. Total of 20 Silver Halves today plus $40 in Ikes! Youtube video of opening the rolls live here:
Photos coming!!

WOW. Congrats on being at the right bank at the exact right time. I envy your find, however it's your turn to SHINE.
 
that is awesome.. last year I found my first Walker in a CWR.. I still remember the excitement.. Enjoy it and on to ur next find..
 
Sweet ! I had a similar experience on my last birthday in late Oct. I got 3 rolls of silver halfs from a tiny small town bank. There was a 1917 Walker on the end of one of the rolls ( customer wrapped rolls ) .Keep on living the dream man !
 
VERY MUCH wtg this happened to me about 3 years ago......with writing that looked like an elderly person hand writing
 
Awesome find!
Haven't got a solid roll in years
 
Makes me want to go bank hopping in the morning looking for CWR's. Congrats! :occasion14:
