Yes, I'm preparing my newly acquired square type tubes with labels with a warning, "DO NOT CASH IN AT BANK FOR FACE VALUE" each coin is worth at least 20 x face.

I showed my photos of my finds to my monthly local coin club they were all astonished, but one. He revealed some time back, he was told by his friendly credit union teller they had some old coins. He bought them and there were over a hundred mostly 40% Kennedy's and some 90%. One guy kept asking which Bank. I said that's my secret, and the others agreed they wouldn't reveal it either. Never hurts to ask your bank tellers what they got in their tills.

Congrats on the haul but did I scroll right past the images of all that silver?

Sorry for delayed response. I as on a 2 week cruise. No you didn't miss them. I have some photos on my phone, but I do not know how to download and post. Technically challenged. Apologies to all.

That is an awesome score. I had only one score even close to what you got- earlier this year when I got $50 in silver half dollars in old looking coin rolls from the bank, all of which were Walkers and Benjamins. Definitely appreciate that score, as they do happen but are pretty much once in a lifetime!

Absolutely true. I've gotten finished with a $1000 worth of customer and bank wrapped halves this week. No silver, 1 proof and 10 NIFC's (so-so condition). It's going to be tough to proceed, as I am spoiled by this unusual treasure find.

Great find, did you also buy a lottery ticket while you were out?

A find worth mentioning! When I got back into the hobby around 2008, I already knew a few roll hunters because my wife was in banking. One manager there was ordering $500 boxes of halves, some boxes were half full of 40%, and these got tossed back. Silver prices had remained flat from the early 1980's for a couple decades and my LCS wasn't too interested in buying 40% silver Kennedys at the time. I accumulated close to 1,000 in just under five years and sold them in 2011 for a good price.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Dirt fishing since '72
