Bought $100 worth of .50 cent rolls

Was just bored today, and when I cashed my check I asked for $2's like I always do, got 3 of them, nothing special.
I also asked if they had any rolls of .50 cent pieces, since I remember seeing a post a while ago and some nice finds
in them. She had $100 worth, so I grabed them up. They came in a nice little box. Here is what I got.

Pack 1. Just the standard stuff and 6 Bicentennials

Pack 2. A really dark toned 1972. Caught my eye when I opened the pack since the rim was black.

Pack 3. 1996 uncirculated pack I guess. All nice and new ones.

Pack 4. More just regular ones, and 4 Bicentennials.

Pack 5. Just more of the same and 3 Bicentennials.

Pack 6. Another roll of 1996 new ones.

Pack 7. I opened this one and saw something completly different in the middle. Thought for a sec it might be a shaved
down silver one, but it was a 1979 Mexican 10 Pesos coin. More of the just the other stuff and 1 Bicentennial.

Pack 8. Just more of the same, and 4 more Bicentennials.

Pack 9. Another roll of 1996 brand new ones.

Pack 10. More of the same and 6 Bicentennials.

Well, that was it. Is there anything else I should look for. I did check the 1974D's just in case. But not really
sure what else to look for. Only reference book I have to look thru is an older red book.

Thanks in advance...

    I didn't loose anything. I still have my money, and I had fun opening that. That's what counts.

    Wonderful way of thinking about it. You DO still have your money, and it was a cheap way of having fun. So, wrap them back up, drop them off at a different branch and go back to get more. This time, you may get lucky. image
