seen at my local B&M coin shop yesterday

I went in to get some more 2x2's and there was a little old lady (looked to be in her 80's) standing at the counter with an old over night case. She was dipping into it and pullling roll after roll of half dollars and opening them and putting them in a tray. An occasional roll of dimes and quarters emerged too.
She must have piled up several hundred BRIGHT WHITE 1964 Kennedys. They looked totally untouched until she opened the rolls. I dont know how she carried all that weight.
I thought of Russ and the tradegy of all these Kennedys going for melt.

Sad.. but not to worry.. the dealer will make out.. pay melt, slab goodies, sell for high profit... Cheers, RickO

Not all halves go in for the melt. Some actually still get bagged in $1,000 face value lots and sold to investors.

the only tragedy is that she didn't sell at the recent top
