    Weiss, great pick up! 12x face is a score too!

    My grandmother Elizabeth --Karp, who was one of the primary people who got me interested in collecting coins at a young age (seven), and who passed away when I was thirteen years old (1980), left me 20 sealed $10 rolls of 1964 Kennedy Halves. She bought them directly from "the bank" in New Haven Connecticut when they first became available back in '64-65?

    I'm now forty-two years old and I'm pleased to report that I still have them. They survived the great melt of '79-80. Unfortunately, over time and as a result of schlepping them all over the country in multiple moves, the wrappers started to deteriorate and about 15 years ago I ended up (in my youthful ignorance) unwrapping all of the rolls (seemed logical at the time) and transferred them into clear plastic cylinders where they still reside today.

    My plan is to pass those down to my little guy below. Sentimental family value is almost always worth more than "X times face" (unless you really need the money).

    Best regards,

    That is fun to get seated coins close to melt. the best I did was that group of seated dimes in the bin with mercs and barbers which amounted to $6 face.

    anyone else like to just play with 90% and stack it? I have some ASE's, but love having 90% halves just to stack and stack just to hear the silver sound. image

    Last week I found over $200 worth of 90% and 40% silver halves looking through rolls. I also bought $58 worth of WLHs and washington quarters at 12x face and found a 64-d ddr and 5 1956s with type B reverse. It was a good day. I'm off to the B&M again today.

    You must have gotten some rolls turned in to the bank after someone passed away, unless you got them direct from the fed as they sometimes have some good stuff in them.

    That would have been nice but it was more like $16.03
