Still can't believe it. Kaching! (pics)
I went out friday to get some coin. Stopped at about 10 banks in 3 different towns. A nice little road trip. I bought about $400 in dimes, and about $450 in halves, most rolled. The loose gave up nothing, the dimes were kinda bummin me out too. Only got a 68 canadian and a 59 rosie in all the dimes.
The halves were much better. 3 of the rolls contained silver. 1 roll had a 64 and a 65. Another roll had a lone 40%. I noticed one of the rolls was pretty old. It had some writing on it, it had $9.50 written on it, and scribbled off, also $8.50 on it and scribbled off. Well the bummer is, the roll was a dollar short. But what was inside more than made up for the 2 coin shortage. It was a solid roll except for a 1980 half. It was almost all 90%, mostly walking liberties. It also had 2 bennies, 2 64kens, and 3 40%ers. The best single roll I have ever come across in my 2 year career. And I've found solid rolls before, just always 40%. One of the walkers is a key date. Take a look at my totals, and the pics as well.

That's an amazing roll you found there my friend -- keep up the good work!!! 
I wish i could tell you it grades VG or better but looking at my photograde book, it looks to be a solid G-4. The G-4 description states that the rims are almost merging with the lettering. Still a $110 coin and a great find! Congrats!
