<p>[QUOTE="E Pluribus Unum, post: 2832422, member: 74265"]This is a little off topic, however I must say that I can't really complain about my 40% Kennedy halves. A few years back, I went to my local bank. When the teller opened her drawer, I noticed a few Kennedy half dollars that did not have a copper band along the edges. So, I asked the teller if she had any more of those half dollars. She said "Yes - an old man just cashed in several rolls. How many do you want?" I said "all of them!" So I got all 32 rolls plus the few that were in the teller's drawer. As soon as I jumped in my car, I immediately opened the rolls. Sure enough, they were all 40% silver Kennedy halves (no 1964 halves unfortunately).</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing that strikes me most about my fortunate find is that some tellers have no idea of what treasures lie in their drawers - not only coins, but silver certificates as well. Maybe I should work as a bank teller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
