<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy-bones, post: 47750, member: 2794&quot;]Cave Troll was right on!&nbsp; I swear he must be be delaing with the same Bank as I.&nbsp; I also typically pull the silver, and you would be surprised the number and quality of Frankins one can find.&nbsp; For me, now that I&#039;ve fininsh a date set, every $1,000 yields approx. 20-40 coins worth keeping (Franklins / Walking Liberties, and Kennedys 1964-1970).&nbsp; I also keep my eye out for the cherished 1974-D DDO. (Haven&#039;t found one yet, but I will!!).&nbsp; The 1987s (issued only in mint sets, and 2002-present (not issued in circulatilon) are kept in mind when I search and I have pulled a few of each.&nbsp; Every once in a while I will find a mechanically doublied coin, specifically the 1996-p (which I just learned form this forum isn&#039;t worth much- see my post/pic under error coins).&nbsp; They are typically hard to spot, so I only find one&#039;s that you can see with the naked eye.&nbsp; Proofs are easy to spot, and I have pulled quite a few over the years! .&nbsp;&nbsp; And then, I pull anything else that falls through the coin sorter at the Fed.&nbsp; Over the years I have found several gold, copper, and zinc plated Kennedys, a church medal, and some silver Canadian Halves. The coolest find I had was a Columbian Expedition &quot;box coin&quot;.&nbsp; When I opened it, there was a photo of a little girl inside, I would guess from the early 1900s.&nbsp; Good Luck to you. I decided ordering halves form the bank so me and my son could spend some time together going through the coinsand building our collection.......at face value!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
