<p>[QUOTE="khay, post: 1332387, member: 34520"]Ok, I don't know how to feel about this... Please post your opinions, whatever they are... I have searched 3 bags of half dollars, $1000 each. Counting 90% halves at $10 each and 40% halves at $4 each value (rough estimate), and not counting the numismatic value of any of the coins (some are worth quite a bit more) and also not counting the value of proofs, varieties, errors, or others with a premium I found and kept, here are my results: bag 1: $16 (32 coins) short, $56 silver value found bag 2: $0.50 (1 coin) short, $146 silver value found bag 3: $19 (38 coins) short, $30 silver value foundI am definitely coming out ahead, but I just can't help being upset by the shortages, especially the most recent one - it was a bag sealed by the fed, I believe, not just a coin machine plastic bag like the first two. Also unlike the others, it didn't have a few odd things mixed in to explain the difference... and the first bag was broken open before I got it, even though I didn't realize it until I got home, which easily explains those missing coins. The third bag has no excuse, and I suspect someone at the place it was bagged and sealed dipped their hand in before sealing it up.Anyways, opinions please? What would you do, how would you feel, in my situation? It is absolutely impossible to get boxes around here... it's bags or nothing.Thanks for reading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
