Did they tell you anything about the customer who turned them in? Someone was desperate for money!

Got $245 of CWR today.
1 90%
6 40%
2 NIFC
2 Proof
The bad part is the teller asked me if I was with the guy that bought halves earlier in the day. It makes me wonder why he did not get them all and also how well he did.

So question for you guys, I found a 1974 without a mint mark and a solid silver cover edge and shinny like a proof. What is it? Also, found a 1973 D same solid silver edge and shinny like a proof. Is there any silver in these? |

Jamessmith77 does it sound like silver when it is dropped? have you done the paper tissue test on it - silver will shine differently through the paper compared to regular coins. If you can post some pictures. I know someone found a old ball coin that was not silver but a foreign coin minted by the us mint. |

They didn't make silver proofs until like 1992. Those are coins to throw back.

Nice finds FoolsGold. I have searched 8 boxes in the past few weeks, and came away with 1 Franklin and 3 40%ers. I had secretly hoped it would be better than that, but I am grateful for any silver.
I have also done 8 boxes of dimes, and found 8 silver Rosies out of them.
I live in a rural area that is sparsely populated. I have had better luck with CWR, but I exhausted the supply.
It would be interesting to find out other peoples realistic expectations for success, and compare it to the area they live in.

Russ789:
Regarding Silver Proofs, prior to the 1990's, after the 1970S Proof which is also 40% silver, the US Mint made a Silver Uncirculated and a Clad Proof and Silver Proof for the Bi-Cenn 1776-1976.
A lot of these were melted in 1982 so no one really knows how many are still in circulation today, but I'm lucky in that I have found 1-Bi-Cenn 40% Silver Uncir while roll searching.
Also, a few 1971D and 1977D were struck in Silver Clad by mistake- big bucks if you ever find one of them!
Happy Hunting!

That amount surpassed my expectations, I'm usually happy to get one or two 40% in a $500 box, anything over that is a bonus. As for the area I live in it is very rural and I have a hard time finding CWR. Though I think its more of a wrong place wrong time thing. |

Today, I asked the teller if she had any halves and she said she had one. It turned out to be a 1968-D, my first mintmarked 40% from circulation, as well as my first 1968 half from circulation.
