Better to be lucky than smart.............

On my way to a meeting I went by a few banks Friday trolling for halves.

Girl said she had $350 worth so I said I'd take them.

First sight they were obviously had been searched as end of rolls were refolded.....she confirmed they had a guy who from time to time brings them in.

Well she went to effort to pull them so I took them to spend just for fun.

There was one roll that didn't match the others.............

Old brown bank rolled with Tails/tails on end.

I could see ends were silver with fabric toning.

Got to the car.............ripped it open................20 1964 BU kennedy halves.

Only the third roll of solid 90% silver I've ever found.

Best part was knowing I pulled them out from under that other guy!!

Spent rest of day bemoaning the fact that the other 34 rolls were clad.

Great, pull. I just love the glitter of silver in a freshly unwrapped roll at face.

You got very lucky! Congrats.

But being smart is better...and it improves your odds of being lucky.

Ive only been lucky enough to pull this off once and I dont think its gonna happen for me again.

Congrats on the 3rd roll of 90%, what a great feeling it is.

Had a couple come in last year said they had 800 halves in the car they were going to deposit in the bank.
I said bring them in so I can check them.
They had 300 40% halves.
I paid them $4 each.
We were both happy that day.

I beat Coinstar's prices the other day and got $100 in Statehood quarters for $95.
It's like getting a round trip ticket on the bus for when I go to the laundro-mat
