Ran across this article promoting part of our hobby (Coin Roll Hunting) on CNBC this morning.

Articles like this can definitely help bring people into the hobby, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it this morning. I also noticed the author may have used one of our now banned members as a source... lol.

    A good omen,
    I go to the bank about 6 times per week for work related stuff,
    I went in today and asked the teller if he ever got half dollars, he said no not really, but that he got a roll from a customer this AM.
    I said I'll take it.
    Got back to the car and opened it to find a 1966 and a 1968-D.

    40% Silver..............I like it. :D

    Good article. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I would surely have missed it, otherwise. Good to see numismatics is still news worthy and treated with relevance by the media. Glad it was highlighted, today, for the newer generation of collectors. I found it quite interesting, myself.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
