Another Branch bank, and $500 in Kennedy's

Once again, the teller gave me the Bag od SAC dollars... But I got the $500 in Halves and found...

1-Walker
7-Franklins
4-1964 JFKs
1-Proof 1964 JFK
20-40% JFKs
1-1965 SMS JFK
1-1973-S Proof JFK
1-1976-S Proof Silver JFK
And the odd stuff....
5-video game tokens
3-France 5 Franc coins
1-Indonesia 100 Rp
1-Sweden 5 kronor
1-England 50 Pence
1-Haiti-50 Something
1-Mexico 10 Pesos

With all the world coinage I should post this on the darkside board!!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • That's quite the haul Marty - how many silver pieces have you found so far altogether?

    24 Rolls of 40% halves and 7 rolls of 90% silvers (not including the partial rolls that are almost filled).

  • So are you paying .50/ea for those tokens and darkside money?

    Some of the tokens that come out of these rolls are quite valuable.
    Bill and Debbie O'rourke in Coin World report on a rare token in last
    weeks issue. I believe it's a hundred dollar token. (I'm not familiar with
    it so it could just be a restrike).

    The 50P, 5K, and 5F coins are all worth more than fifty cents just in
    face value.

    Cladking is right, I just save the darkside change, and when I get a stack I take it with me to the airport and exchange it at a change booth...

  • They exchange coin?? Your lucky, most foreign exchange won't do that. Paper money only.
