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.

You got very lucky! Congrats.
But being smart is better...and it improves your odds of being lucky.
Congrats on the 3rd roll of 90%, what a great feeling it is.
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.
