Last week I went to the bank and ordered $200 in halves. I got a call today that they came in. I picked them up, came back and started going threw them. I was on my second roll and I couldn't believe my eyes on what I found! I was not expecting to see this Beautiful Lady staring back at me. She is in pretty good condition, has a little ding on a corner but HEY I will take it! :lol: Look below for pics! Not Bad for free silver! Out of 20 rolls I ended up with:

(9) 40% Silver Kennedys
(1) 1964 90% Silver Kennedy

AND THE SCORE FOR THE DAY WAS WHEN I FOUND THIS BEAUTY!

(1) 1943 WALKING LIBERTY HALF!

Yep. You make it look easy!
I've even gotten skunked on $1000 of halves before. In the last 2 years I've only gotten 4 90% silvers, and 74 40% halves. 10 years ago, I would get silver nearly every roll, but that was a small town and now I am in the big city.
