I Won The Lottery :)

Well as most you guys and girls now Im very new to this forum, and coin collecting in general. I was always looking for ASE and stuff like that to collect, because I really didnt know what else to collect. One day i was in a coin store when I over hear a guy talking about going through boxes of halves and looking for silver. I started with a few boxes and maybe for 5 kennedy halves that were 40% and one toasted liberty......To make a long story short I was in line at the bank today just depositing a check for my two boxes of halves that are coming in tomorrow, and I over heard a girl talk about a woman that brought in a really old tool box full of half dollars. Here exact words were " the were SO ugly and looked so old" then my ears perked up. Now two of the girls there know that I just started collecting so they put stuff on the side for me.....well today i just had to buy the whole bag of halves that they counted for the day.My hands were shaking and my heart was racing. Im like GOD PLEASE LET THIS ALL BE SILVER. I know as a beginner coin collector it feels better to find it then buy it. 1 BANK BAG of halves is $1000, or 2000 coins. Well since 510pm today I have been seperating them by years and this is what I got. Out of 2000 coins 1053 were SILVER
1963 Franklin ( 1 )
1964 Kennedy ( 89 )
1965--- (40)
1966---(72)
1967--- (350)
1968---(345 )
1969--- (156 )
I think this will go in the record books. Im going to go back tomorrow and get the other bag and wait on the 2 new boxes. What would all this silver sell for? You guys have been great with all your advise and direction. Thanks again

That will make your day. Good job.

 

well the coin melt calc says 2,800 and some change but that is total value, not usually what you get from a dealer/jeweler, so i would say close too 1,800 for the 40% ones and around 400-450 for the 90%

 

Whoa!!!

 

Fantastic! Unfortunately, now every future find will seem anti-climactic.

 

WOW Excellent !!!!

Now, if your REALLY feelin lucky...get yourself a powerball ticket, lol. With luck like that who knows.

CONGRATS !!

 

Just think how many coins you can buy for $270 million!

 

I feel sorry for the woman who lost her coins for face value when they were worth much more.

 

I just hope that blue seal 20 that they are holding is something of value, not to mention it would be nice if that other bag has the same amount of silver

 

dude.....you suck.... lol


that being said.....although i am a cousin and not a brother....

SEMPER FI!
