[QUOTE="cphine, post: 707110, member: 20940"]Hey all, first post from a total coin newbie! I wanted to start some gold/silver investing and then learned about the pre-1965 coinage. That started my "great half hunt of '09" addiction, and has also turned into an interest in coins in general, not just the silver. I'm in trouble now! :) I'm hoping this isn't a case of early success yields false expectations, but so far I've managed to find about $1100 worth of halfs from the nearly 50 banks I've visited over the past two and a half weeks. In them I've found: 127 - 1965-1969 Kennedy (I left off 1970 since I didn't actually find one!) 4 - 1964 Kennedy (one that looks relatively free of wear, but is a cool shiny black tone) 3 - Franklins 9 - Walkers 1 - English 10 Pence About a bajillion bicentenials, but one roll of them that has toned to look like gold...really weird. I've also got two or three that might be errors, but I'll get some pictures and post in the other thread to see what you guys think. All I know is that I can barely walk in my living room right now without tiptoeing around a stack of coins. :-)[/QUOTE]
