While dumping dimes I found the Walker family reunion

[CardsNCoins]

Went to a TD bank about 25 miles from my house today to dump some dimes, and when the dime bag filled up the attendant was needed to change it. While the machine was open I could see into the half dollar bag, and at least 2 Walking Liberty halves looking back at me.

I told him he had some halves I needed for my collection in the half bag, and can I buy them outright and he "no, they're counted already." So I ask can I swap out half dollar for half dollar, and after he asks the manager they say OK. I go to my car, and sure enough I have no halves with me.

Long story short, I drove 25 miles back home and grabbed $25 in halves (to be safe), and when I got back here was the take:

19 Walking Liberty - (1916, (2) 1917, (3) 1918, 1919, (2) 1920, 1923, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1934, 1935, (3) 1936, 1 unreadable date)
3 - 1964
1 - 1965
2 - 1966

I have been very lucky lately to say the least.

Very nice finds there Nick. If you can, I'd go back and buy the entire bag; in case you missed any.

BTW, I'm guessing they're all not from Philly (in fact some were only minted in Frisco) and if you do not know where to look for the mint marks; here's a link that will help:

Again, mucho kudos on your finds.
