[QUOTE="Omegaraptor, post: 2388492, member: 76105"]I went to my local bank to look for half dollars. The teller said they had none. I told the teller I'd give her jelly donuts and she looked in the vault. She dug up about $200 in old rolls, and I gave her $200 and the jelly donuts in exchange for the rolls. Then, I came home and searched them. The first 19 rolls had no silver or varieties. Being me, and never giving up, I opened the last roll when I saw a rim that wasn't silver OR clad. It was gold. And it was huge. I pulled it out to see a Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Immediately I started jumping around with the coin in my hand. Then, I checked the date. 1927. But wait-there was a letter above the date. The letter was a D. I sent it in to NGC and it came back MS66! What are the odds! [ATTACH=full]490370[/ATTACH] ... ...
