Best Silver Find So Far For Me!

Hey there all. Did not order any boxes this week but did start out last Sat picking up loose halves, $59.50 in all, $50 in CWR dimes and $25 in cents.
Turned up a 67 40%'r, a 1963 Rosie and 12 Wheat Cents. Not to bad for $134.50.
On Wed I stopped into my business bank to make a deposit and asked if there were any halves. Teller said no. When I looked at the tray I saw a silver quarter in the bottom of the $4.25 that was there. I causally asked for all the quarters and was on my way. When I looked down in my hand, I saw the 1962 AU shinning beautifully and smiled. :-)
Then on Friday I made a few stops at some local banks and picked up a 66 Kennedy in nice condition out of $7.50 of halves. The teller even told me that she was glad to get rid them. I was glad she did to!
Then the big score. Today at 3:15 I stopped into a bank and got $11.00 in cents and 2 measly halves. Disappointed, I drove the long way home to make a last ditch effort to get some coins for Sunday. Asked for halves and the teller said she had like $20. I said I would take them all. She set 2 rolls on the counter that were old and had yellowed tape and newer tape on the other end. On the rolls was written 64 Kennedy on 1 and 9.50 - 51, .50 -35. I saw that and got really excited! I whispered to my son to read what they had while we were waiting for her to come back with a box of pennies that he asked her for. I just wanted to get those rolls in my hands and forget the pennies. So we get to the car and we are joking about how someone is messing with us. I even said that I did not want to open them until later just so I could keep hope alive. Then I picked one up and it was heavier than a "normal" roll I had in the glove. I said that i had better open this thing cause it really had me going. Then about 2 miles down the road I managed to get the end open to find a Liberty Bell staring back at me. I turned it to my son and we both said at the same time, "OMG. OMG" I emptied the roll and the other end was a 1935 Walking Liberty. So 19x 1951 Franklins and 1 1935 WLH. Just like it said on the roll. I pulled over to open the 1964 Kennedy roll. A solid roll of 64-P Kennedys. They look Unc to me. What a freaking great day!

I will post pics tomorrow.

:-D

The writing on the rolls is almost always true!

Congrats.
 

Good to know. I am going back first thing Monday morning to buy all the Cwr of all denominations that I can. Need to capitalize as much as possible.
Later.
 

Great finds majorhole. It is very common for tellers to be happy to get rid of halfs and its nice to make them happy when we can since a lot of the time hunters can be a pain for them to deal with. Many of the rolls I see with writing on them do contain what they say but I've yet to find one that said silver on it. HH
 

I am in So Cal. Here is a picture of the finds. Can't wait to get another one like this! Oh yeah, got 5 2008 P's also in the bottom of picture,

For most of us, the great finds are few and far between. The skunk may come and hang with you for a while. HH
 

::faints at seeing so much silver:: man I am so disgustingly jealous!! <J/K> Congrats on the find. Hopefully the silver fairy starts coming my way. I might have to do halves again just out of curiousity.

Hugs and smiles,

I have been really lucky so far on the silver. I got all but a full roll of quarters last month and now this. Looks like the teller tray and the CWR are working best for me. I have found nothing but 2002-2012 in the boxes in a long time now. As for the skunk, I will get a black cat, paint a white stripe on it and hunt while I have him preoccupied.

Haha.

The 1972-S cent doesn't look proof to me. Keep in mind that from 1968 to 1974, there were business strike cents made in SF, and 1969-1970 had nickels made for circulation at the SF mint.
 

What is special about the 08 P's? I am clueless on that one.


It is my understanding that starting in 2002, Kennedys were not made for circulation. They only way they get there is Mint Rolls/Bags that get spent. So they are more than just a 1971 throw back most of the time. I am assembling sets of P&D 2002-2012. At least it makes me feel better when I find some of them at least.

I could always spend them at In n Out Burgers I guess.
