$30 CWR halves - 1 NIFC (2005-P). The rolls looked really promising - old paper, held together with some Scotch tape. Something straight out of an old man's sock drawer. Then the first coin that came out was a 2000, and I knew I wasn't going to find much.

Also received a bag of foreign coins, mostly modern canadians but it had a 50% silver dime and quarter in it, some Swiss 1/2 and 1 Franc and some coins from the 50s which I need to research.

Im about $150 into the cent lot and found some DDOs (72,83,06,11) which I still need to match up, and a super clean 2000 WAM.

A dateless IHC, looked to be 188x, but its in horrible shape

Some good luck on Monday. Stopped in at a bank I almost never go to and was surprised to find they had 4 rolls of halves. Even more surprised to find these 13 proofs scattered among the clad in the four rolls.

But better still were these 2 64's and one each 65,66, 67, 68-D, 69-D, 68-S and 70-S. Two silver proof coins! All told, a bit over 1.5 ounces of silver. Obviously someone's collection: one from each date (though I was expecting a 64 and 64-D, not two 64's).

Little did I know Friday would be even better...at a different branch of the same bank!

 

Okay, so here is Friday's (today's) find. I decided to check out another branch of the bank I went to on Monday. It's only 15 miles away. Actually, I had gone there Wednesday looking for halves and they told me one absent teller had three rolls and she would be in Thursday afternoon. I couldn't make it Thursday and almost forgot to go on Friday. But late this afternoon I remembered and I'm glad I did.

I immediately recognized the three rolls as old wrappers. And the teller spent a long time looking for a black magic marker to cross out some writing on the rolls. I was pretty excited to catch a glimpse of the writing: it said "Kennedy" plus some date. When I got the rolls back to the car, I was hoping for the best. Well, I got close. Not three rolls of 1964's. One roll of 1966, one of 1968-D and one of 16 mixed 40%er's and 4 bicentennials! That's over eight ounces of silver! It made me happy so I arranged a happy face picture to share:



Before today's find I was at 293 silver coins for the year. Seemed like 300 would be a good goal. Kinda went over: the 56 I found today puts me at 349!

Good luck hunters! Hope everyone finds something this month!

 

So see, it's not too late to look for the silver!
Good job!

 

Today and yesterday were your lucky days!

 

abuckmaster, be thankful you have the option of getting halves at all. I cannot get halves in my area. I once paid $7.50/box for four boxes out of my area while on vacation. Since then I've decided it wasn't worth it because my finds were nearly zilch. I have since given up on MWR halves.

 

where on earth can you not get halves??? where i live, they're everywhere.

Heck, they even still circulate in rural areas near here.

 

I found a mint state kentucky quarter improperly annealed sintered planchet worth $150 graded sold it for $75 ungraded paid 25 cents !
