Default Half Dollar Bank Rolls

Bought $30 from my local bank...

2 rolls were machine wrapped in "Mohegan Sun Casino" wrappers...lots of
nasty slot machine beat-up Kennedy's, mostly from the 1990's and 2000.

The other roll was hand wrapped, and when I opened it seemed to be part of
someone's old collection. I found:

9 - 40% Silver Kennedy
1 - 90% Silver Kennedy
1 - 1963 Franklin Half
1 - 1946-S Walking Lib

The three 90% silvers were all scratched up by a slot machine, the 40% were
decent. I'll keep those all for the silver content, and spend the other
$24. I also purchased $150 in dollars, which I will circulate from my
register at work.

Oh yeah! It's lot of fun to find anything pre- '65 these days! Way to go!

Slot machines really damage half dollars because of the reeded edge
and the weight of the coin. Casinos are no place to look for nice half
dollars.
