<p>[QUOTE="Scubalou, post: 8339406, member: 101267"]Had some spare time today, so I figured I'd hit some banks looking for dollar and half dollar coins. They never have half dollars. Hit about six banks and came up dry for all but one - and she said "yes I have $9.50 in half dollars. Obviously I took them all. Went about my chores and came home - figured I'd look at the halves. Well blow me down, the first one was a bi-centennial half - from San Francisco. Weighed in at 11.7 oz - looks like a proof to me. When I got over the shock I looked at the rest, a couple of 1972 - D's in real nice shape. The rest were 1-'64, 1-65', 2-66's, 4-67's, 6-68's, and 2-69's After I changed my pants I realized what had happened. Someone robbed daddy's piggy bank. I'll enclose pictures. Sadly I know what I have to do. I know which bank it was because I went thru the drive thru and they put the coins in one of their little deposit envelopes, actually they had to use two. So tomorrow I'll call them to see if anyone came in looking for the coins. Of course I'll return them - if someone claims them, I'd be pissed if someone had taken mine.</p><p>Thanks: Lou Looks like I have to create another thread to show the remaining pics[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
