Bank-Rolled Half Dollar Boxes Finally Warming Up (Like The Weather In Massachusetts)

Yesterday for the first time since mid-January I acquired bank-rolled half dollars that contain coins from a "collection dump". The two boxes didn't have any silver "enders" -- but it was encouraging to see that most of those coins were minted in the 1970s and 1980s: i.e., the rolls weren't diluted with recently-minted half dollars.

Soon I found my first 40% silver Kennedy half dollar. Then I found a 1965 coin and a 1966 coin with unusual lusters that initially led me to think they had been cleaned. However, now I think they are coins that were removed from the Special Mint Sets issued those years. Near the end of the first box I was pleased to find a 1941 Walking Liberty half dollar in Very Fine condition. They are beautiful coins. That box also contained a 50-cent coin from Ecuador (the second one I have found). A CRH has to take the chaff with the wheat! The second box also had several coins that contain 40% silver -- plus two 1964 Kennedy half dollars (one in uncirculated condition).

I asked the bank manager to order two more boxes for me next week. She also told me that I can't give the tellers gift cards -- but she agreed that I can order a large pizza for them to enjoy at lunch.
