Roll-searchers, post your results!

Well April ended on a nice note for me. During lunch I stopped by a Chase near my work that I haven't been to before, and they had $3.00 in halves. I got 1x64' and 1x68' out that...not a bad lunch break.

I've attached a snap shot of my year to date totals below....only 13 silvers away from 200 hundred for the year!!! I'm over half way to my goal which was 300.

Happy Hunting guys!

I believe this is a 1957...is this PMD???

The 57 looks like someone used a grinder on it and the other like some sort of hit to me.

Wow...just wow.

 

Totally amazed you can still find good halves amongst the clad after all these years! Do you look at the face of each coin, or, just scan along the spines of the coins?

 

My wife and I date search each coin.

 

Had to log in just to say WOW! That is one pretty coin!
