<p>[QUOTE="vegasvic, post: 405705, member: 15296"]I have my best luck looking for half dollars, by going through small towns and stopping at banks to ask if I can buy half dollars. About four years ago I hit the jackpot. They had $6000 of hand wrapped halves that had been sitting in their vault for years, I bought them on the spot with the only requirement that I would not bring them back to them. I found Franklins, Walkers, Kennedy's and one 1898O Barber. The oldest coin I have ever found in circulation. I cleared about $1000 profit at the bullion rate of four years ago. I wish I had sat on them, but that's hindsight. I took them to my bank, which didn't make them happy, but I didn't really care. They are still out there if you beat the backwoods banks. City banks are worthless as they get them from the Fed and I only occasionally find any silver.</p><p>Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
