It's Been A While, But the Rolls Finally Paid Off

MarkKelleyMarkKelley Posts: 1,850 ✭✭✭✭✭

After a loooong dry spell my boxes of half dollars gave up a little silver today: First off, there were 94 90% silver coins including a 1923-S As if that weren't enough, there were 16 40% coins Then, for the icing on the cake, a 1986-S Ellis Island half and No FG varieties of 1972-D and 1982-P.
These all were in two $500 boxes. Me and the wife had a lot of fun with this!

    It looks like some heirs dumped that "bunch of old coins" ... much to your advantage! :)

    This is not legitimate until we see the Starbucks coffee cup next to the rolls. :)

    What. No gold?

    “Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it’s a very minor form,” Trump continued. “People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”

    Funny when I read your thread title I thought you had finally paid off the loan for a Rolls Royce. 😂

    Anyone else curious as to what the rolls look like?
    Hardly ever see pictures of the type of rolls.
    Old wrappers might be good sign.
