Well, second of you count a roll of wheat cents but silver is far more fun. I rode my bike up to a near by town I hadn't hunted before. First bank had 3 mwr of halves and also picked up a dime box. Second bank had $310 in cwr and some loose. Bought them all. I can see crh mark on some rolls but others had nothing on them. I took the bike to save gas but backpack was heavy riding home. Got home and started searching. Got through about 2/3 of the halves and I'm getting pissed because rolls were short $3 and finding nothing. Switched to dime box. All skunk. Back to the halves. Opened a roll and see the reverse of what looks like silver. Pulled it out and yes, it's a 1968. Threw it in my keeper jar and dumped the rest out. Boy was I surprised to see all those silver edges. And the count was correct also. When you least expect it: Bam, silver. I like the way this week is starting off. Good luck to all and HH.

You can dump those at my local branch if they're taking up too much space ;-) Haha.... Congrats bro! May it be the first of many!

Thanks baddbluff but I think I was addicted as soon as I pulled my first silver Rosie. It sets in quick.
