Searching boxes of halves. image









It's been a long time since I've had this much luck. I found a 40% half in the first roll I opened.
That is always a good sign.

About 5 rolls into the first box, I see two silver edges and notice one of them is smooth. My first thought was an edge damaged smoothed one from a coin counting machine. When I pulled it out, I was pretty excited to see a Walker. It's only the second Walking lib I've ever found. 1935-S

A short time later, I unwrap this roll and instantly see 3 silver edges... Not bad, One of them turned out to be a 1963 Franklin.

Here's the total haul from the first box plus two clads that I kept in addition to the silver.

So I was pretty excited to dig into the second box. Long story short, I found two more Franklins,
2 40%'ers and a pretty cool looking circulated clad.

    You're making me want to go hurt my back carrying out a box or 2 from the bank.

    Super finds. They've about dried up around these parts. Last 5 or 6 boxes yielded nothing but smutty black fingers.

    Great score. My bank of 7 years decided to start charging $6 a box and I told 'em to shove it. In the process of finding another bank that will do this for me and move my business to them.

    Nice haul of silver.

    Earlier this year I ordered $1,000 in halves at my bank. No silver at all. That experiece cured my curiousity for roll searching.
