In early November, I purchased 16 half dollars from a teller at a bank located in an adjacent town. Ten of those coins were 40% silver Kennedy half dollars (1st photo).
This afternoon I went to the same bank and asked a different teller if she had any half dollars. She told me she had seven coins that a customer gave her last week. When she handed them to me, I could see that most of them were badly tarnished -- and when I checked the dates I saw that two of them were 40% silver coins (2nd photo). I have found several tarnished silver half dollars that are easily overlooked because of their appearance.

I am surprised --but pleased -- that 12 of the 23 half dollars I have acquired at there contain silver. You bet that I will continue to visit that bank!

Getting silver at face value is always nice. I'm hoping you are taking care of that teller too!

More than half have been silver, almost unbelievable.
