[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 52600, member: 1674"]Well, kinda... I sorted $2000 in halves this past weekend. My method when opening a roll is to look at the edges of the coins once the paper is off and pull out any silver first (it's really easy to tell), but when I opened one of my rolls I saw gold! I'd heard stories of people finding real gold coins mis-rolled as halves, so I quickly pulled it out and this is what I found. I think I'll keep it, but only because it is silver...someday I will find some gold ;) [IMG]http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421608790/22/600/450.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421608790/23/600/450.jpg[/IMG] The plating still looks pretty good, especially on the reverse. Anyway, here are the final numbers from my 4 boxes: 1-1942S (Walker), 1-1943 (Walker), 5-1964D (90% silver Kennedy's)-one of which is gold plated, 1-1966 (40% silver Kennedy's), 7-1967 (40% silver Kennedy's), 7-1968D (40% silver Kennedy's), and 7-1969D (40% silver Kennedy's) All in all, an ok turnout, and I had a lot of fun![/QUOTE]
