    I was at the LCS about a week and a half ago. He said business had been booming. He only had 3 rolls of junk silver (1 of halves, 2 of quarters). He said he had just rolled them and it was the last he had. I think he was out of gold. He seemed to have an abundance of silver eagles though, of nearly every date.

    Anyway, he said the halves were all Walkers. I bought them and left, but before I made it out of the shopping center I decided to go back for a roll of quarters.
    At the end of the day I got through them when I got home. It was kind of fun. I felt like I was coin roll hunting but cheating at it.
    Here are pics of what I found within the Walkers and Washingtons

    I think the Seated Quarter is an 1856-S. I'm not quite sure on the date though. A quick glance at my redbook just now tells me it's and even better find than I thought if I can confirm the date.
    Other honorable mentions that were a bit of fun to find: 1918 and 1920 Walkers in about AG3 condition. Quarters from 1937, 1942 and 1943

    Nothing more fun than plundering junk silver. Any way you slice it, you win.... Cool finds.

    Going back was a smart move in your part. Thanks for sharing.

    Ah, to visit a LCS, or go to a coin show, would be wonderful, but they are all so far away, it just isn't likely for me.
    Great find and fun to go through. Nice pick up @AdamL
