I was visiting my brother in Virginia for a few days and we had a few hours before I had to leave for the airport so we decided to check all the banks for half dollars and big dollar coins. The second bank we went to I asked if they had half dollars the Teller said I have $1 and asked the teller next to her if she had any halves the other teller had $47.50 in halves I bought them all and as the Teller gave them to me I saw 3 rolls that were beet up and looked really old. Part of the paper on the roll was missing and I saw silver edges I ran out to the car and opened them and every single half dollar was silver 3 solid rolls most of them were 1964's in excellent condition one of the rolls even had 2 extra halves. In total I got 49 half dollars from 1964 and 13 40% By the way none of the other 15 banks had silver. But now my brother wants to start CRH.

Such a cool story Trent! That is QUITE THE SCORE! Isn't always cool to get more than just one or two? Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, you might want to tell your brother that this wasn't the norm at all.

That is a great score! Much better than I've done this year, the 30 silver dimes I've found at face have only cost me about 4 bucks each in gas !#@+***
