Mined a little Silver today

I went to Grand Forks today, before leaving town I stopped at Bremer bank and bought $500 worth of half dollars. When I got home I looked through them and when all was said and done I found 7-40% Kennedies, not great but at least I found something.

    I know it's out there, but it never ceases to amaze that you can find silver for the taking. Well done!

    yeah it's hard to believe that you can still find some Walking liberty or Franklin half dollars along with 90% and 40% Kennedies. Another thing that's kinda neat to find is proof Kennedies, I've found 25 in rolls with my best find to date a nice cameo 1970-s silver Kennedy.

    One thing I haven't gotten in a long time are any Walking liberty halves, my cousin got a 1945 last year at his bank out of the drop off box and a teller at my bank got a nice au 1943-D out of a roll of halves from the fed.

    My favorite teller put these aside for me last year...

    I dipped the red one in acetone, put it in a flip with its mintage and a smidge of history, and gave it to her next time I went in image

    I agree that was a classy move. It sure helps to have a teller look out for certain coins for you as earlier this year a young gal at my bank called and informed me about some older date half dollars and when I showed up there were 2-1964 Kennedies along with 12-40% half dollars. I tried to pay her some money or offer to buy her a soda but she didn't want anything, if this happens again I'm gonna do what you did and give a coin back to her with perhaps a little history lesson.
