Last week I found out both my purchase bank and drop bank both use Loomis Armored. After checking with one of the Loomis drivers (they eat at my store several times a week) I found out they don't service 3 banks in our town. Today I went to one of those banks and decided to open a free checking account so I can purchase kennedys without any hassle. After finishing the paperwork I went over to the tellers and enquired about Kennedys. I now have a standing order for $1000 per week that can be picked up in $500 increments. I bought $200 in nickels to give me something to do over the next couple days. BOY WAS I SURPRISED when the teller told me they had $16.50 in Kennedys. I asked for those also.  After leaving this bank I went to the bank I had been purchasing Kennedys from, thinking on buying another $150 in nickels. When I walked in there was only 1 teller visible. She is new but had seen me before. As I walked up to her window I glanced at her change try and saw a Kennedy. BOY WAS I SURPRISED when I realized it was a 40%er.  I asked for it and she told me she had a whole bunch more Kennedys. Another teller who knows me better walked up about this time and said they had been saving them for me.  BOY WAS I SURPRISED when they told me they had $150 worth.  I bought them all and told them treats would be heading their way again soon (I take them Frostys from my work a couple times a month) Got home and looked thru the $16.50. BOY WAS I SURPRISED when I found a 40%er in that group. That's 2 so far for the day that I know of. I opened the first roll from the $150. BOY WAS I SURPRISED when I found a 1970s Kennedy right on top. BOY WAS I SURPRISED when the rest of the roll was all 40%ers...and so was the next, and the next, and the next! Out of 334 Kennedys, I got 297 40%ers and 1 1970s proof! BOY WAS I SURPRISED!

Wow...what a great story! Congrats!  I'll wager you got someone's cache from the '65-70 period.

Congratulations! Great finds! You must have nearly blacked out a time or two when you kept opening those rolls and finding more silver. I must admit though I'm torn between being very happy for you and being very jealous  . But really, good for you man. Now, rub one of those coins real good and pass it around to all of us so we can get a little of that 'silver touch' too  !

 Awesome finds! Wish I could get that lucky! I haven't searched halves in a while. I think this has inspired me to go order a box!

So that is why no one else is finding them. You've been getting them all. Congradulations but how about leaving a few for us.

I agree...I propose that he allows each of us to buy up to 10 at face value from him. :) I think it's time for me to order up a couple of boxes again.
