Reminds me of when I was a kid in the early 60's...I do feel sorry the person that cashed these in at the bank. They possibly could have used the money if cashed in for silver.

OK. I am going to have to play devils advocate and call shenanigans here. Years ago after 1 year of CRH halves when someone posted a good half dollar score I told myself no way that happens in real life and someone is trying to get their 15 minutes of internet fame. Then I found my monster box with 10 rolls of Walkers and 6 rolls of Franklins and 2 rolls of 40%ers which was $2,300 in silver at the time (there is a pic out there somewhere in the CRH thread but I can't find it now  ). 4 weeks later I found a mini monster box of $1,000 worth of silver (it was a mini box only because the bar had been set with the previous box) So I KNOW that there are real scores out there to be found however I was planning an Aprils Fools Day post and taking my finds and rewrapping them in the Loomis wraps with a classic showing on the machine crimp end and hiding my hand crimp on the unseen bottom. However finding 100% silver in $250 vs 1 roll someone may have set aside many years ago and I am trying to find documentation on when machine wrapped rolls were first introduced makes me  I get 2 still shotgun rolls of Kennedy 1964 half dollars $250 yesterday $20 + $142.5 + Walking Liberty half dollar$87.50 in Franklins. ---------------------------- = $250 If I am wrong then congrats.

Jack necked. It is real. I was blown away by the find. I never expected to find those. Only the kennedy's were machine wrapped. I plan on keeping them and filling my walking liberty and Franklin half dollars, and whatever is left I will wait to sell when silver goes up. Silver value is more volatile than numistic value for junk silver. I do love tax free profits. Haha |

How about a list and quantities of dates/mintmarks for the Walkers and Franklins?
Jealous, I am. But good for you.

Am I the only one that feel bad for whoever's coins these were? They either got robbed or ignorantly traded in their coins for 1/12 their value. I'm honestly surprised that banks don't have an automatic flag for people trading in large quantities of collectible or silver coins at face value.
Not blaming the OP for doing anything wrong, it is just that something fishy or sad is going on if someone traded in that much junk silver at face. They were all wrapped together which means the person who collected them knew what they were.
