Could see that "third side" shining at me from a mile away!!!
Teller had $5.50 in halves. I knew the 7th coin up from the bottom was my keeper!!!
Didn't want to draw attention to it so I asked her for all her halves. My prize was a 1964 Kennedy 90%'er. Sweet...my first 90% at a teller window.
Cheers,
Jeff |

My favorite bank comes thru again!!
About every couple months I buy all the halves my bank has stockpiled. This time it was better than most others. They had $234.50 in halves to buy. When I got my bag of loose halves I could already hear that silver jingle inside.
In the bag was--
2 Walkers
3 Franklins
23 1964 90%
and 91 40%!!
Can't wait to see what comes in by Christmas!! |

Teller 90%ers are nice.
If you've got the CASH, always ask for them all!  |

Love hearing about the big half dollar scores! I'm with you and have certainly had my days. Just a trooper living vicariously through your posts of winning the stinkin' lottery......
I love pennies. Found a nice 1913 last night.Clear detail on wheat.
I also had a dime in a machine wrapped penny roll. I sort all bright and unscratched coins (near perfect, wheats, certain mint marks mostly S from any year they made them, Canadian, which I have been stashing for years and could put together a collection,in addition to just sorting out coppers.
Lincolns were my first true love. The original coin compulsion.

I dont know if this should go here or elsewhere, but somebody brought in 5 1940-1953 chevrolet cars to the junkyard today. The latest tags on the cars were 1973. Well, I got to looking in them and digging around, and here is the score:
Ben Franklin halves: 3
Mercury dimes: 4
silver Roosevelt's: 17
Silver Washington quarters: 6
40% Kennedy's: 1
Wheat pennies: 19
Non silver and other: $11.93 face
Not a huge score, but I didnt even have to pay face! Gotta love that. |

| Been skunked so many times over the past month or two, that I've completely stopped keeping record of my finds. After finding nothing for so long keeping a journal starts to seem a little pointless. Still at it though - picking up two more boxes today. |

Mcprice- I would call 31 silvers a huge score. I give you extra credit for the way you found it. I would have never thought of that! I have found a few wheats in old abandoned furniture...may have to hit some junkyards.
Way to keep your eyes open! |

Love the old car finds. Woke a few brain cells.
I got two boxes today. The silver spread says not connected but the coincidence of finding a 70S proof in each box.
Box 1-
5-64's
10-40%ers
Box 2-
1-40%er
Should get the last two half boxes tomorrow for the week.
If I can get four a week, and continue through the winter, I will be happy.
Also got more pennies and nickels CWR's today for a stash to sort later. Found 1 WN last night in half a box. Little bits of silver....
The Canadian dollar is almost the USD right now.
I find a few dollars Canadian most days. Today: 2 Loonies, 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel and some pennies. Pennies don't stick to the magnet but I find a few around the counter.
I also found two more 43 steel cents today making my total almost three tubes from the magnets in the last year.

A 35s? In the teller tray?
Did you use the "I'm robbing the bank" misdirection to distract the teller?
Nice work!
