HUGE PILE OF WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLARS FOUND IN A CASHIER'S TRAY

First off I would like to say that I found this find on September 21, 2014 and never posted it on here, I posted it on a treasure hunting forum but not here.

I went metal detecting, and stepped on a yellow jacket's nest, and end up getting a sting to the leg. I then go to the Supermarket, and a woman was putting coins in the self checkout station. I noticed a silver edge in the quarter section. I told her I collect coins, and I'm wondering if I can buy that quarter with the silver edge, sure enough she said yes, and it was a 1964 silver quarter. Than she says that the tray at the service desk is full of silver dollars, and that I could buy them. I figured that she might have an Ike dollar or two, but I figured it was worth checking. She then said some of them are worn, but they are from around the 1930's, at that point I'm thinking maybe there might be something there, maybe a piece dollar which would be incredible. Finally she pull out the tray and I feel like I might have a heart-attack, the tray was overflowing with walking liberty half dollars. She asked how many I would like, I quickly said, "I'll buy them all." She said OK, but she warned me that some of them are pretty worn. She took them all out, and put them in piles of two, the grand total, 16 dollars. I had no cash on me, and she said no credit cards, so I got $20 from the ATM, which was only 20 feet away from the tray. Than she hands the 90% 32 walking liberty half dollar to me, plus the four dollars in change, and I run to the car with them, clumsily dropping all of them on the pavement, but I picked all of them up, and made it home.

The weird thing is that the teller knew the value of the coins, but just did not care about them.

Lucky day indeed , when a teller knows what they are and still sells them .

Lucky Dude....I usually only get a few Canadian or almost no value clad foreign coins....no silver...but an occasional wheatie from the 50's

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Xmas!!!

 

I love it when stuff like that happens, especially to me!

 

Sure it wasn't a dream? I get those kind all the time.

 

That would make any ones day. Good for you.

 

What is special about Canadian copper?

 

I think I hate you!


congrats

 

That's the find of the century!

 

You've been a very good boy - Santa is coming early to you ;-)

 

nice score ....

 

I had a similar experience, not a good of course, but was still exciting. I want to a bank looking for halves and the teller Said she had $38 in two envelopes. She even said some are silver as she didn't care that they had more value. Half we 40% Kennedys as it was my best score ever. Silver was about $35 an ounce at the time so it was a good score.

Congrats on yours that is just plain crazy!
