Nobis1 Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 4:13 pm I had a road trip to NC this weekend to see my ailing grandmother. Fun trip. While driving down, I found a small bank off a state road and stopped in. Teller told me that they over $400 dollars worth of halves sitting in their vault for over two years, but some guy bought them all the day before I stopped in. Thought it was a bad omen, but boy was I wrong. The next day, I went to a bank in another rural area by my grandmother's home. I called ahead first and was told they had $837 in the vault. Of those, I found 181 40%. 6 of the rolls were complete rolls of 40%s. Weird though, not a single 90% coin. I also found 8 40%s at another bank. Because I was visiting, I did not get to check any more banks, bummer but I was happy to get what I found and see my grandmother. Report this Post to the Staff
Russ789 Pillar of the Community United States 623 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 4:41 pm Nobis...now that is a great find! One reason you might find 40% and no 90% is because people in their 40s and older typically know that 1964 and older is silver. However, they don't realize 1965-1970 halves are 40%.

philinchio New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 5:33 pm This past Friday my box finally came in after two weeks of waiting. Turns out it was my best one so far in my short CRH career! 2 90%: a 1964 and a 1943 WL. Both firsts for me! 2 40%: a 1967 and a 1968-D. One was an ender. Is String n'Sons usually this good? I hope my next box has more goodies. Report this Post to the Staff

Nobis1 Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 09:20 am AGCoinHunter - That is a nice bag. It is torture to me when I see them being taken off the coin machine loaded with silver. My bank normally will not sell them. Report this Post to the Staff
Nobis1 Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 09:22 am Thanks everyone - it was fun searching those rolls. When searching something like that you get to the point where you expect to find something every roll. It was a lot of fun. Deltron - thank you for the well wishes for my grandmother. She is very elderly and age is taking its toll. Report this Post to the Staff

Russ789 Pillar of the Community United States 623 Posts	Posted 04/12/2011 6:46 pm Stopped by a credit union by my office that I passed by. The teller said he had 2 rolls of halves but wanted to save them for his kids. I asked if he would let me search them and leave the rest for his kids. He obliged. Pulled 1-1964 Kennedy. ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
