Huge for me anyways...:laughing7:

Was watching tv this morning, Satruday, and received a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. I almost choose to ignore it but my finger hit the wrong button so I had to answer it.
To my surprise it was BOA calling telling me that they had $500.00 dollars that somebody dropped off on Friday. I had given my name and number to this teller about four weeks ago and
forgot all about it. Anyways first thing that went through my head was that it was somebody's dumps but I had promised I would take all they had when they called so off I went.
She loaded up an empty box and I was on my way home.

Sat down in my chair and went through $100.00 dollars and decided that it was going to be an exercise in futility.

Next roll <<<<BAM>>>>>

Couldn't believe it, A SOLID ROLL from somebody's dumps - all 66's.

Next Roll <<<<Double BAM!!!>>>>>>

Solid 67's

This when I decided that I should take pictures of the box I received from the bank. I can tell you right now that if it would
have been a normal box, this would qualify as a "Dream Box" from years ago.

Here is the box of halves from BOA --

Then some clad and silver mixed.

Then Double Triple Whammy <<<<<BAMMMMM>>>>>>

Another roll of 67's.

Opened up several more rolls of clad and then

Lighting strikes again.

Fifth solid roll

I ended up with 113 40% half dollars. I am at a loss for words as this is my biggest hit outside of my three rolls of dimes a few months back.

Total Silver for your viewing pleasure....

:notworthy:That is a GREAT FIND. Do you have a breakdown by years? Any 1970? That would be the icing on the cake. Congrats & as they say, "It's out there".

This must be a good week, for multiple rolls....I had total of 6 rolls out of 10 Friday nite
 

That is a HUGE Silver Score if I had to say myself... Ive found a few halfs like that but never that many and not in one box. now if a man could do that everyday.. he would have somthing.:thumbsup:
 

Killer! Your Christmas came early this year. Now the rest is gravy. Congrats!
 

Whoohoo! Couldn't have happen to a nicer guy! A very big Congrats Freedom! Dream Box!

Nice, love it when grandpas coin collection gets turned in:thumbsup:
 

Most likely didn't know that 65-70 are Silver, you know everyone thinks 64 on back are Silver. HH, Maverick.

I find it hard to believe that people do not know the 65 to 70 halves are silver be it a lower percentage than earlier years

However, I cannot count the number of times people normally tellers say something about halves earlier than 1965 being made of silver.

To date I do not believe I have corrected one of these folks erroneous believes.

I am not sure I would have bought $500 even worth of halves $470 yes but 500 I very well may have passed and ended up loosing out nice Find

I was told just now a teller is holding $160 she saved for me, now i am dying to go open them! hopefully I will have a similar post!
 

Its a feeling that is best related to a 6 year old on Christmas opening presents, that is why I love this hobby... That is a beautiful load of Silv..

no such luck, they were dumps that had already been picked over by all the tellers!
