Wow, amazing roll find
h0h0h0. I got a GREAT roll find today. My fiancee is doing
some travelling this weekend, so I figured I'd go get some half dollars to root through, and give her the rest to use as toll. My credit union usually has a good stock, but ive never gotten anything really good before. She came back with 2 rolls when I asked for three. Then I noticed the 2nd roll was a $20 roll, not their typical $10 rolls. It was being held together with some very old, yellowing, scotch tape. And not doing a very good job at it either. I brought it home. Jackpot. The latest coin in the roll was a 1971. I got 3 clad coins, and th remaining 37 are all 40% silver. I can't in good faith spend these or give them to the girl. She'll have to find her toll money some place else -- ______ ______ ..-----.|__ ||__ | eXistenZ32 | -__||__ || __| e@: usenet-at.-transparentmeat-dot-net |_____||______||______| |

You did give the teller $20 for the $20 roll didn't you? I've never seen halves in a $20 roll myself. YEah. I was very surprised to see it in a roll like that. I've never seen them packaged as such. And with the amount of tape on it, it obviously hadnt been openned in a long long time -- ______ ______ ..-----.|__ ||__ | eXistenZ32 | -__||__ || __| e@: usenet-at.-transparentmeat-dot-net |_____||______||______| |
