<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WarNickelFinder, post: 1257636, member: 28662&quot;]I had a monster score at a bank today.&nbsp; Now this is the same bank I found two rolls of silver halves months ago, and I always keep coming back to see if I can get lucky again; what I found was truly astonishing.&nbsp; I asked if the teller had any halves and she did, $2.50 worth, and I found that they were three Walkers (&#039;36, &#039;43, and &#039;45) and two Franklins (&#039;53-D and &#039;62-D).&nbsp; But as I was getting ready to leave, the teller told me she had old dimes and quarters she&#039;d like to get rid of.&nbsp; I peeked over the counter and found two translucent envelopes stocked with silver.&nbsp; I bought the coins at $15.75 face value and when I examined them later, I was astonished at what they contained:</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimes included 49 silver Roosevelts and an 1899 Barber!&nbsp; That was my first Barber dime from circulation, and I was eager to check out the quarters.&nbsp; I opened the envelope to find 42 silver Washingtons, including a &#039;39, &#039;40-S, &#039;42, &#039;42-S, &#039;44 and other dates from &#039;46-64.&nbsp; But within the quarters was something even more amazing, an 1893 Barber quarter!&nbsp; This is my first non-Washington silver quarter from circulation!&nbsp; Both Barbers are my only non-Indian Head cent nineteenth century finds.&nbsp; What&#039;s even better is that after a lot of skunked quarter searches, this one came to reward me for my perseverance.&nbsp; I am definitely taking some cookies to that bank again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
