Cheapest silver around...
Meltdown

Searching boxes of halves.
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.

I'll try a box.
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.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

<< <i>I checked it all out on coinflation a few minutes ago... It works out to $119.64 worth of silver for $10.50. >>
Cool (and fun)!
But the real question is: who did draw the Halloween face on the Kennedy?!

I'll give you a hint... he's been practicing writing his name. He made the triangles, I helped him with the scary mouth...

Nice score!
In God We Trust.... all others pay in Gold and 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.
