Was opening 2 boxes last night. Box 1 was my fifth skunk in a row, Box 2 broke the streak with a '52 Ben! My first Ben, I've found everything under the sun but him. Anyways, I took a break to go get some smokes at the gas station and brought a roll of clad halves to pay with. The cashier looks bummed, complains how he can't get rid of them, etc. There was an old lady talking to him. She says "my mother had a whole jar full of those things, when she died I rolled them all up and took 'em to the bank!" The lady must've been in her 70s, and considering it was her mother that had the coins, they were probably all silver! Those may have been the fabled solid 70 90% rolls!

Thanks! The funny thing is I've found two walkers but Ben has been elusive
 

excellent! Then I guess the next logical step is a "Shave & a Haircut" , good luck on the Barber quest!
 

Now you're talkin! I would be thrilled 8-) got two boxes comin' in tomorrow and two monday, let's see what happens!
 

...those solid rolls of 1964 halves... bogus. but that is why we hunt indeed!

Ask her which bank she brought them to :D
 

I was very close to asking her if she had any more and would like to sell them. Has anyone ever done this before with good results? My fear of rejection always stops me in my tracks just like asking for CWR halves lol. that's why I'm a box guy

You should have asked her, she may have had another jar of silver that you could buy from her.
