Gosh, either you are joking, or some kid looted his dads collection. Ha, ha!

 

I know right! I was holding my breath until I got home and checked them

 

Good work

 

Great job!

 

Wow!

 

Awesome find. While working at Sears I got a couple of cashiers to look for wheat cents for me. Got a 09 VDB handed to be reverse side up. Had me sweating for a few seconds. lol Just a couple silver coins. No haul like yours! Congrats!

 

wow!

congrats!

 

Who would have thought Walgreens, of course what am I saying I peer into the cash drawer wherever I am too. Sick, sick obsession!

Congrats!

 

Great job of keeping your eyes open!

Amazing find. I need to start looking in the register drawer when I shop. A little surprising that if the clerk accepted them for payment, they didn't realize that they were worth a lot more than face. I can see clerks not recognizing silver Washington quarters or Roosevelt dimes because they are current designs. But Walkers are two designs back. Wonder how they would react to a draped bust half.

Wow...

 

If the stories are true of clerks trying to scan the plastic square tube used to separate one customer's purchases from another's, or stating that a customer had "Six" items and not "A half dozen" as the customer stated, then I can definitely see a clerk accepting half dollars that are the correct weight and size without giving it a second thought. Just wish they'd give them to me .

SUPER WoW!

 

Funny, the majority of the stores I visit have the cash drawers out of my line of sight. You are a very lucky person.

 

Good work a nice way to add to your collection

 

There is a strong chance that those were stolen from someone. A check with local police could lead to an arrest if the store has a camera to view who brought them in.

 

I'm with "TG". You might be in for a reward if this is the case.

PS. Nice find, all the same!

 

Much as this seems a great find, I too have a suspicion that someone is missing part of their collection.

 

You go Girl, that's my favorite place for coins ...
