I love when wrappers speak the true...

Picked up 100$ cwr and 3 -20$ rolls of "large silver dollars" that an older person turned in just this morning...

The large dollars were all IKEs...

Haven't searched the two rolls I. The pic below or the other 7 rolls but I bet I got at least 3 SOLID ROLLS! My first solid rolls I'm psyched! Final results later...

Nice find! The previous owner of those rolls must have been really elderly judging by the handwriting.

WOW nice find
 

Ok so I finally got them all looked at and out of 10 rolls, 9 of them were solid 40%ers.!!! The last one had 2 silvers and 18 clad. Total silvers was 182 of 200 coins. More pics will follow.
 

Champion. You are a champion.
 

Coming soon... Very soon!

Soon is NOW!

I did find one clad creeper in the one roll as I sorted it out so the silver count drops by one...

181 silvers

'65 - 30
'66 - 8
'67 - 58
'68 - 51
'69 - 34

Face value 90.50
Silver value 925.54

Winning!

Quite a glorious find there! I am proud of you! That's mah boy!
 

Looks like some 40% ignorance. He crossed off silver and wrote clad.

Goes to show how excited I was.... I didn't even notice that! Glad they were ignorant.

Whoever dumped the halves didn't cross out "silver". It looks like the crease in the wrapper going through the word. Fun fact, most "old timers" call 40%ers "clad" or in this case "silver clad". I've even heard stories of people dumping 40% silver clad halves as the 90%ers where the true sought after coins in that time.
 

Super score there GM! Allways take them all, and you have a small dump too! HH, Maverick.
