Even More Silver Coins In A $500 Half Dollar Box - Including Several 1964 Kennedys

The hot streak that started eight weeks ago continues. Yesterday the teller at my regular bank told me she had ordered another box of half dollars from Loomis. When I opened the box I found an "ender" -- a 1967 Kennedy coin (1st photo photo). Surely a good sign...

I found seven silver half dollars opening 25 rolls located on the side of the box where I found the ender. Better still, four of those coins are 1964 Kennedys that contain as much silver as nine 1965-1969 Kennedy half dollars (2nd photo). But I found nothing of interest in the last 25 rolls.

I think my recent experience is evidence that someone brought a cache of silver half dollars to a bank in my area (naively receiving face value for them). Those coins were mixed with regular half dollars at the Loomis facility near me before they were counted and wrapped -- creating boxes that each contain an unusually large number of silver coins. The box that I acquired early last week contained 34 silver coins (including a 1964 Kennedy and a Walking Liberty coin). The next box I acquired didn't contain any silver coins -- but the most recent one did (although only the rolls that were used to fill the first half of that box contained coins from the cache).

Today I asked the bank manager to acquire five more boxes from that Loomis facility. If I am lucky, those boxes will include more rolls that contain silver coins from that cache.
