<p>[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2011968, member: 51208"]I got 32 walking liberty half dollars from cashier's tray at the supermarket a few weeks ago. Sadly, I think that someone had their collection raided. Dates are 1917x2, and 1934-1947 many different mintmarks, and duplicates. It's amazing that I completed my walker collection for face value, now I have all the dates from 1934-1947, plus mintmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's how I got them. I was at the supermarket when I see a woman loading the self-service station with money. I see a silver edge quarter and ask her if I could buy it. Sure enough, 1964 90% silver quarter. See commented on the silver quarter and said that silver coins are becoming pretty hard to find. See then say's that see has a bunch of "silver dollars", see said that some of them are worn but they are still worth money in silver. I figure that she had some "Ike Dollars, or some Kennedy Half Dollars, but when I got there I almost fainted. A slot in the tray was overflowing with walking liberty half dollars. I ask if I can buy them, and she said, "Sure, they have been sitting there for months". I go to the in-store ATM 20 feet away from the walking liberty half dollars (she said no credit cards lol). I pay her the 16 dollars, and clumsily carry the coins to they car, accidentally dropping them everywhere, but jumping on the pavement, and picking up every coin. Anyways, best 16 dollars every spent lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, another story of possible coin collection theft, is when I found an 1859 Indian head cent in EF condition in a machine wrapped penny roll from the bank back in late February 2013.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
