Huge score from the bank on Friday

Teller called me, said "Hey, we got $100 in halves somebody turned in, want me to hold them for you?" and I said "Sure, I'll come on Friday." So I withdrawal my paycheck, almost drive by before I remember and stop in, and pick up the rolls. There used to be cherrypicking tellers at this branch so I was expecting a dump, little did I know.
15 40%'ers
5 1964's
26 Franklins
137 WLH's
Most of the Franklins were early-date Philly coins in AU or better... I think the bulk were '49-'52, with a couple '48's and 3 later dates. The walkers were really mixed up... there was probably 30 or AU coins, and a couple MS ones as well. No key dates, but... one crazy variety find I have imagined myself cherrypicking, but never fathomed finding in a roll...
I also picked up a box (only one out of 4 that had anything) later in the day that gave up over a roll of 40%'ers and a couple '64's... putting me at $103 face in silver found on the day.
I know I posted a thread about a couple coins from this find, but figured it was awesome enough to be worthy of it's own thread.

Where the hell are all the halves? I see the DDR is already in a Dansco.
EDIT: Where are the bank tellers heads?
Almost sounds to good to be true.
Wow, I dream of deals like this everyday. Way to go!

<< <i>Its difficult to understand why someone who works in a bank wouldn't educate themselves on the difference between clad and silver coins. I know they come in wrapped and all, but seriously...why not take a quick peek and see if someone gifted you an extra two weeks pay? >>
These days many of them do. I think that may be the last time that that teller in the OP gifts that customer.

No, I've gotten customer rolls just littered with silver dimes there before... I think nobody there gives a crap.
<< <i>Find it hard to believe that a 30 something year old guy and no one in the bank knew it was silver. >>
My best guess is that someone died, and the inheritor was that guy... he just didn't realize they were worth anything.
<< <i>A picture of them all would be a treat , give us all some new desktop wallpaper : ) >>
I'll do you one better. Turn your speakers down... It's a little loud to start. I don't know if you'll be able to understand me through the mumbling and general incoherentness due to my shock, anyway.

Can't use it as your desktop wallpaper, though, sorry! I already dumped all the rolls in my SDB, so I can't really take any pics. >>
Great score but linky no worky.
<< <i>that's a 2k payday, you suck and well done. Make sure to buy a nice little gift card for the lady who called you. >>
I once found about 6 Franklins and a dozen WLH's in a box one time but this score is SAWEEEET!!!

Just remove the extra https:// (I removed it in his link above...try it now)
Easiest thing to do when a link doesn't work is hover over it...many times, it is just an extra https:// or http://
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Had a similiar occurance about year ago.
A young attractive girl with her loser boyfriend sitting in the car just deposited a bunch of silver half dollars and silver dollars and Ike dollars.
I was next in line and wanted to buy them. [I always ask while I am there but they never have any or just a few clad half dollars.] Was told they have to bag up loose change and send it to the main branch to sort and count the amount.
I offered to count it for them in front of them. Never did get them.
I was livid.

It's a very nice score, but 2K ???
These go for hundreds on Teletrade in high mint state. What am I missing? I'm asking because I have one of these I found a year ago and just put it away for later.

All the tellers who I talk to about numismatics just want to sell what they have stashed away for max. $.

<< <i>Thanks guys, I'm off Tuesday too, dropping by with donuts for them and also gonna order them some pizza for lunch. Least I can do.
Holy cow that's quite a haul.
Forget the donuts and pizza it should be steak and lobster for your teller friend!
