<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dano, post: 608719, member: 16035&quot;]<b>Continued Good Luck!</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, i&#039;ve been reading the posts in this thread for awhile and have been amazed at what everyone has been finding.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been concentrating on halves for several months now and found a few Franklins, lots of 1964 Kennedies and tons of 40% Kennedies.&nbsp; But i&#039;ve never found any Walkers in rolls...until last week.</p><p>I went into my usual bank to order 2 boxes of halves and the teller said she had 19 rolls of halves and would i want them?&nbsp; Absolutely!</p><p>When i started opening them in my car i could tell that someone had organized these rolls at one time due to the writing on them (Bicentenial, 1971, 1974, etc.)&nbsp; As i opened them i started getting a pile of 40% halves and ended up with 32.&nbsp; Not bad for 19 rolls, and definitely better than my usual box finds.&nbsp; I got to the last roll and opened the end and my heart skipped a beat...there was the reverse of a Walking Liberty half staring back at me!&nbsp; I then noticed scribbling on the side of the roll....&quot;SILVER&quot; in old faded ink.&nbsp; Lo and behold, there were 11 Walkers and 9 Franklins!&nbsp; All coomon dates and mintmarks, but still.&nbsp; What a haul!</p><p>I went back to the bank to ask if the person had brought in rolls of any other coins(but no such luck) and here is the story they told me:</p><p>It seems that a guy brought these rolls and some loose dollar coins that were scooped up right away by a teller (i&#039;m hoping they were Ikes and not Morgans and Peace because that would&#039;ve broken my heart!).&nbsp; He had brought all of these coins to a &quot;collector friend&quot; who told them they were not worth anything, so he cashed them in at the bank.&nbsp; Obviously this &quot;friend&quot; didn&#039;t look at everything, because by my reckoning, the roll of Walkers and Franklins is worth about 100.00 in melt value alone.</p><p>Either way, just another example of being in the right place at the right time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
