Road trip yielded me my largest silver score EVER!

I have been waiting to post this for 3 days now! We had a major ice storm and have been out of power since friday morning 6AM !!!

Thursday I did a road trip hitting up banks looking for old silver. I went to several banks, some were skunks, some were decent and 2 were just awesome!

bank 1:
they had zero halfs, no customer hand rolls

bank 2:
$10 in loose, and one roll. They teller said you probably do not want these, they are old and dirty. The roll was all clad, but the 20 loose in her tray were 12 out of 20 silver. Nice!

bank 3:
no halves, but lots of hand rolled dimes, nickels, and pennies. I got $300 in dimes, $100 in nickels, and $20 in pennies. Ended up with 2 war nickels, 2 silver Rosies, and 7 wheats, not too bad.

bank 4:
$16 in halves loose in tray, all skunk

bank 5:
$100 in rolls, just brought into them yesterday the teller told me. Almost every roll had silver. Ended up with 6 walking liberties, 5 franklins, 14- 90% kennedys and 41- 40% 66 total silvers or $33 out of $100, nice score

bank 6:
$1.50 loose, skunk

bank 7:
$17.50 loose, all skunk

bank 8:
$1.00 (2 halves..lol)skunk

bank 9:
here is where I scored! Walked in asked them if they had any halves, loose or rolled, she said well all we have is what is on the coin counter, and it is not full, we normally wait till it hits $1000 then send to feds. So I pleaded with her and she gave in and sold it to me, There was $361 in the bag.

When she sit it on the counter I immediately saw silver, LOTS of silver in the bag. I was trying to hide my excitement as I paid her. I had a hard time riding home after buying this bag. I knew I had just made a huge silver score. When I got home I started going thru it and almost every handful contained silver. The bag contained the following

75-40%
64-90% kennedys
1 franklin
$6.47 mixed change, like quarters, dimes etc.
2 of the new presidential dollar coins.

she told me some change slips thru in the half bag but it is not counted toward the half total so it was free to me basically, so i got $8.47 in free change

so all together with everything combined I ended up with:

7 wheats
2 war nickels
2 silver rosies
6 walking liberties
6 Franklins
128- 40% kennedys
78- 90% kennedys

total 222 silver for the day! My best road trip ever!!!!! here are the pics! :thumbup:

That is how you do it! WTG Congrats!!!!!!!
 
I just go into any bank and ask "do you have any half dollars, loose in your tray or rolled"? that is it...........half dollars are the LEAST circulated coinage and easiest ones to find old silver
 
Needless to say, Those Silver Coins sure do look good and shiny to the eyes and no digging either! God's blessings poured out upon you and your family when you really need the money from losing your job! :clapping: God Bless! Betty
