<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ron_c, post: 2009073, member: 72518&quot;]I had a somewhat similar experience about 6 years ago.&nbsp; When getting food for the week, the cashier ask if I would mind taking a half dollar as part of the change.&nbsp; Thinking it could be a 40% half, told her sure.&nbsp; Image my surprise when she hands me a Walker.&nbsp; I ask if she had any more halves and she said she had a lot, as an elderly man had paid part of his purchase with half dollars and she couldn&#039;t get rid of them, probably thinking they were clad.&nbsp; I ended up with the following at face value:</p><p><br /></p><p>Walker - 7</p><p>Franklin - 9</p><p>Kennedy 90% - 10</p><p>Kennedy 40% - 8</p><p><br /></p><p>I started my collecting of coins when I was 10, when my dad handed me the biggest, brightest coin I had ever seen, a Morgan.&nbsp; To a 10 year old these looked so big.&nbsp; Back then (1956) I would get (if I did my chores) 50 cents allowance a week.&nbsp; I would save as much as I could and every 4 to 8 weeks, I would take my change and go to the bank to get a bright Morgan dollar.&nbsp; After months of doing this, the bank (small town) would let me look through the Morgans and I always would pick the bright ones and as far as I know uncirculated.&nbsp; I remember, some had funny looking colors on some of them, but I wanted the bright ones.&nbsp; If I had only known about toning and also look for the more scare ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
