Trent C Valued Member United States 166 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 4:38 pm Today I went to the bank to pick up 2 boxes of half dollars and the teller said I saved you something and gave me an envelope with 26 Ikes in it. I looked in and saw a very shiny Ike I pulled it out and it was a silver 73 S I looked back in and then found a silver 71 S . Then in the half dollars I found my first silver half a 1952 Franklin then in the second box I found a 64. I was very surprised to find two 90% silver half dollars and not find any 40% silvers. Was anyone elses first silver half dollar a Franklin? Report this Post to the Staff

baysinger626 Pillar of the Community United States 950 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 4:48 pm Nice score! especially on the silver ikes! I had found silvers elsewhere, but my first 90% from roll searching was actually a Walking Liberty, but then a Franklin wasnt far behind it in that same box. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 6:14 pm Definitely a dancing fruit occasion - congrats! A Franklin for your first silver - and in the year 2013 - 50 years after the last one was made - amazing! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
