Chris12018 - believe me - There is absolutely NO shortage of 76's out there! Those and 71's are a pain in the behind!

Teller at my dump bank told me about the kid who came in with a bucket full of halves and large size dollars a few days ago. It is a grocery store bank so they wouldn't take them in there (none of the tellers know their coin counter takes halves). Too bad I missed that one, might have been a huge score!

Ok - We have been doing about $5000 worth of halves a week now, so I decided to post my finds of the week here. ----------------- this weeks hauls included: 40%'s 38 90%'s 2 1 1990S 1 1982 George Washington I'm going to post pics of the 1990S and the 1982. Opinions are welcome and encouraged. I don't know much about either - So, if you do, tell me more than you think I would want to know. Todd     |

I've tried to sell them on ebay, but there isn't much interest in them. I think that the RedBook pricing is a little high, as these are MUCH more common than first thought--- |

So this is my first post. I've been collecting for about 1 month and it all started as follows: My grandfather passed away a few months ago and as I was cleaning out his closet I found an old school water jug filled with change. Next to this was a box (about the size of a brinks box) filled with what was obviously silver change. It dawned on me that he must have separated out any silver in his change for the last 30 years. I took all the change to the bank and the teller informed me to not cash in the silver, but to sell it to him. After thinking about it I decided to keep my grandfathers hobby alive and start searching for silver change. So that's what I've been doing. So far this year (2011) I've found:
40% JFK Halves = 35
90% JFK Halves = 6
90% JFK Proof = 1
90% Walking Liberty = 1
90% Dimes = 4
Just wanted to introduce myself and start posting. Additionally, I splurged and purchased a 2010 1oz. Gold Buffalo Proof. In summary, I think I'm hooked and believe my grandfathers collection is in good hands.

Welcome Jamessmith77, That was a very considerate teller who counseled you not to cash in the silver although I wonder what kind of deal he was prepared to offer. 90% silver coins are trading for about 20 times face value right now. You won't regret carrying on your grandfather's hobby. It might keep your memories of him fresh.  |

 jamessmith Great Story! You'll find great folks here on this site. Remember if you get in a cold streak, keep searching, silver is bound to find you soon enough. I would reccomend skimming over this JFK thread. It is extremely exciting and encouraging to see what some folks have found! |

I can't believe all of the shiny proofs I pulled from the two boxes this week! 1972-S, 1977-S and 1987-S. The mintage on these is low and I can't believe people dump them. Perhaps a sign of the times we are in.
Also pulled one each NIFC: 2002P, 2003P, 2003D, 2005P, 2006P
And last but not least one beautiful 1969-D silver! That's all for this week. Good luck all!
