AND I FOUND IT!I went to my usual bank today to see what they had. Picked up 3 rolls of halves. The vault teller was out to lunch. Took them next door to the hardware store where my wife works and of course she laughed at me. Opened up the first roll and out came the silver, a Walker, 64 Kennedy and some 40% Kennedy's. My wife being the helpful and loving woman that she is, snatched the other 2 rolls and dumped them out on the counter and proceed to go through those. Total for the 3 rolls...2 Walkers, 2 Franklin's, 2 64 Kennedy's and 11 40% halves. On top of all that out of 3 rolls of Halves I ended up with 77 total coins.  My kids are being schooled here.  I went back about 20 minutes later when the Vault teller was due back from lunch and asked if she had any in the vault? $70 worth she replied ya want em? But of course I do I said to her. So out of $100 face value I ended up with the following 5 Walkers (gave one to the teller who gave me the first 3 rolls) 6 Franklin's (gave one to the vault teller) 26 1964 Kennedy's 20 40% Kennedy's Here come the pics     The image below only shows 4 Franklin's so see above pic      I have not yet gone through the clads yet, will get to them this weekend, If I find anything in them worth posting I let you guys know. I also bought a lottery ticket and by the way, no 09 Lincolns yet at the bank but I did score another plain 09 cent from circulation today with no spots. UPDATE Just finished going through the clad. Nothing there. Did find one more 40%, a 68 filled D. Edited by Tim Stroud 04/02/2009 6:22 pm

I am still doing cart wheels over this one guys. This is my best find ever! I was about to give up on roll hunting, been through 9 boxes of cents since Christmas and about 25 rolls of halves and up until today all I have to show for my efforts is about 2 dozen common date wheats. Chasinva69 I got them at my local First Citizens Bank. You have 2 branches near you, 1 in Vienna and 1 in Arlington give em a try tomorrow and see how it goes.

I haven't roll searched since I was a kid(a long time ago). But I've been thinking of starting again. That's the story to get me from thinking to doing. Great Find
