I'm sure people were thrilled to get a half dollar as a tip. "Here's a giant coin that no one uses anymore and will wear a hole in your pocket because I didn't think your help even merited $1"

He didn't say he leaves just a single one as a tip.

Nice silver finds @Coin_nut1977...Now if you can find a WLH, that would really make your day. Good luck... Cheers, RickO

Found one! Couple months ago. West Point Lowell. Are you referring to?

WLH is a walking liberty half.

I’ve found 5 so far CRH. That goes to show you how much I was into CRH. I was practically getting $2k in halves a week!

Good luck

Wow! Congrats on those finds. Not to many halves available here. Northern Michigan

Most of the time you will need to ask your branch to order boxes of halves for you. Most banks won’t have boxes of halves lying in their safe. Most of the time it’s what the customers bring in.

Here’s a picture of the silver halves I’ve found so far. Had to be 2-3 years of searching. Havent touched a box for a year or so as my dad started to get tired of carrying the haves to the bank Oh and it’s 6 walker not 5

very nice. that's alot of searching. What do you plan on doing with all the silver?

No plans as of now. I did sell a few rolls a while back but it’s sitting in a safe for now.

Coin_nut1977

Open a roll of pennies and wasnt feeling the search! Went up to the bank and got some nickels Oh, looks like some state quarter rolls. Kansas, Louisiana and Washington

It is interesting to see the enthusiasm exhibited by Coin-nut1977 and some other forumites who are Coin Roll Hunters as they obtain boxes of rolled coins and diligently hunt through them for coins that to many of us on the forums remember as nothing more than uninteresting "pocket change" we would see as kids in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.

Many of the coins found during these current hunts that are displayed in photos posted to threads such as this one do not (at first thought) get my attention.

Then I remember how excited I would get when as a YN in the 1960's I would look for and find heavily worn coins such as:

1. Wheat cents from 1909 to 1939, especially those with a D or an S on them;
2. Indian head cents (sometimes);
3. Buffalo nickels (mostly dateless or 1936, 1937 or 1938);
4. Liberty nickels (rarely);
5. Mercury dimes (mostly 1934-1945);
6. Barber dimes (rarely);
7. SLQs (mostly dateless);
8. Barber quarters (very, very rarely);
9. Walking Liberty half dollars from 1917 to 1933 (not often);
10. Barber half dollars (very, very rarely); and
11. Morgan dollars and Peace dollars (rarely in change but plentiful if you acquired them from banks; but who as a YN could afford such high dollar coins).

Those coin finds were treasures to me (I still have some of them).

So it goes with the CRH folks of today.

So it likely was with the WWII generation of YNs who looked a pocket change in the 1930's and found Indian head cents, Liberty nickels, Barber coinage and maybe even some Seated Liberty coinage (plus gold quarter eagles on occasion) in pocket change and thought that they were treasures.

So Kudo and Props to the CRH collectors of today (maybe I will do some CRH myself again one day when I have the time to do so). May you have great success in your hunts and find that special coin that takes the collecting fire within you a higher intensity.

Keep up your enthusiasm for CRH. Even though many of your finds are somewhat common, it is still neat finding a 75 year old coin in the wild. That it survived out there that long.

Coin_nut1977

Wasnt a very impressive box of nickels. I got a few Album fillers possibly. Have to see what I have. Time for some pennies.

You are correct. In fact when I spend multiples or tip multiples of halves sometimes it sparks a conversation on coins. And that is never a bad thing. Besides money is money. It all adds up the same.
