Help me wipe up my drool

I was wasting time today at my local coin shop, and in walks an older couple carrying 3 heavy canvas bags. They brought it up front to ask the dealer what he would give for this. I figure the usual, nothing worth alot. But, had to browse closer just to satisfy my curiousity. Guess what, the dealer reaches in his hand and pulls out a handful of Walking Liberty Half Dollars. All in all, the first canvas bag contained 421 Walkers, the second bag had 237 Franklins, and the third bag was 100's of silver Kennedy's. After they left, I talked to the dealer about it. He showed me some of the Walkers, they were circulated, but many were EF-AU. I had to wipe my drool off the counter. The dealer then said I could buy the whole lot right now, for 10% over his cost of buying them. He hadn't even searched for dates. Couldn't afford it, as he paid the couple $1105 for everything. Man, I love halves!!
