Been a long time coming but I finally got mine. Haven't never done well bankhopping so I mostly stick with ordered boxes, I do make my rounds from time to time though (usually right after my competition). Guess I will have to persevere and do more of that. Breakdown is (2) Walkers, (1) Ben, (15) 90% JFK, and (2) 40%ers to spoil the perfect 90% haha. Anyways here's some pics, first one shows faintly "all silver" written on the roll in pencil. HH all, Mark

When I saw the heading and that it was from you I knew it would be good. Sweet man.

Ah, there's the roll I misplaced. You can forward it to the address on my website. Thanks for finding it 
Seriously though, very nice score Mark!
Also, do we have the same desk? That oak matches the finish on mine perfectly  |

Thanks guys- been waiting a year and a half for this thrill. Closest I came before was I got two rolls from one of my banks one roll had 18) 40%ers and the other 16- I often wondered why all the clad couldn't have been in only one of them rolls. Do you think anyone makes one of them plastic holders for autographed baseballs for half dollar rolls haha.
Also did good out of 6 boxes tonight, came up with (1) Ben, (3) 90% JFK, and (28) 40%ers so I had a 12 oz day. HH all, Mark |

Hi there-
Somebody made $100!
wags |
Only when they CAN'T have it, ......THEN they'll want it.
I love Cents. If you get an UNC box, you win. If you get a regular circ. box, you win. If you get a zinc box, you don't lose....so you still win. |

I went to a friends house out of state sunday. We got to talking about coins after he showed my daughter his collection of coins from aroung the world he picked up on his missionary trips.
He told me he paid his 4 kids in half dollars. One day he stopped by the bank to get some halves. When he got home and opened the 4 rolls every one was silver. About 30 90% (included 3 bens) and the rest 40%.
I was so jealous. I bank hop twice a week looking for halves and he wanders in to pick up some payday money and gets 4 rolls of silver. |
You don't have to be the BEST you just have to be.......SLICK

| Nice. The best I have done is all but 2 were 40%. The others were clads. Maybe the same can happen to me today. |

Funny twist this AM. I went to a couple banks close to where I got the dream roll and someone had cleaned them out yesterday- felt good to know I sniped someone else for a change. I don't know how many hunters there are here but I would not be surprised if there is more than 100.

| My second purchase of halves consisted of nine rolls. 7 rolls were non-silver..one roll was a mix of 40% and non-silver..one roll was all 90%...in great condition. From then on..I was hooked. |

Got a call this afternoon from my CU that I stopped at this morning, the teller that helped ME said that someone came in with $17 worth of halves and she will hold them for ME. See them chocolate coins really work haha- ME thinks she went to alot of trouble to find my phone #. I got fingers crossed haha. HH Mark |
