CRHing in a Casino - Success!

[USA]

I went to Las Vegas this weekend and noticed that in addition to the stacks of chips, every black jack dealer had a stack of 50 cent pieces. Depending on the table it looked like they had anywhere from $30-$50 in halves. Of course the CRH side of me saw a golden opportunity. I just stopped by each table, casually glanced at their halves stack, and then moved on. I got to one table and sure enough, the coin on the very bottom of the stack had that beautiful silver edge. The table was really busy, so I couldn't quite butt in so I waited until 3 people cashed out at the same time. I asked the dealer if I could buy two half dollars. She said sure and put the top two on the table. I then asked if it was ok if I got the two from the BOTTOM of her stack? She said "Aren't they all the same?" I said they were, but I collect coins so they are different to me. So she pulls out the bottom two and low and behold, is a Franklin!! I was so shocked!

It was the only silver I scored, but I was thrilled to walk out of there with a 1963 Ben! I'm sure those halves had to pass through a lot of hands before they made their way to the gaming floor. I was shocked I was that lucky that a Franklin half made it through unnoticed!

Congrats on the score! I'll be in Vegas this week -- which casino(s) carry the halves?

*PRESS RADIO BUTTON*, *STATIC* ,"Oh? Someone taking a chip from the house? You were right, putting the silver half-dollar in with the rest of them, would let us know WHY they are REALLY here. Borris, make sure you stop him before he reaches the door, standard security sweep, the half dollar is in his right pocket. Shoot on site if he tries to flee."

That may be the only way to beat the casino these days!

Awesome!
I went there this summer
I noticed the excalibur and circus circus had the most half dollars.

That's awesome, I'm glad they gave it to you. I always feel like any weird requests at a casino are swatted down immediately since they're always looking out for someone to one up 'em and cheat
