It's Been A While, But the Rolls Finally Paid Off

MarkKelleyMarkKelley Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭✭✭

After a loooong dry spell my boxes of half dollars gave up a little silver today: First off, there were 94 90% silver coins including a 1923-S As if that weren't enough, there were 16 40% coins Then, for the icing on the cake, a 1986-S Ellis Island half and No FG varieties of 1972-D and 1982-P.
These all were in two $500 boxes. Me and the wife had a lot of fun with this!

    It looks like some heirs dumped that "bunch of old coins" ... much to your advantage! :)

    This is not legitimate until we see the Starbucks coffee cup next to the rolls. :)

    Funny when I read your thread title I thought you had finally paid off the loan for a Rolls Royce. 😂

    Anyone else curious as to what the rolls look like?
    Hardly ever see pictures of the type of rolls.
    Old wrappers might be good sign.

    These are machine wrapped Loomis rolls. My bank orders the boxes for me.
