I was turning in $100 of pennies at a bank that I usually don't go to recently; this is a bank that at 1st cut me off from ordering halves and then said they would start charging me for turning in bags of halves.
So I go in with my crate with 4 boxes of pennies and go up to the merchant teller.
She asks me if I am going to cash them and I said yes but decided to ask her if she had any halves to sell me. She had $40 worth and the teller beside her chimed in and said he had $170 worth he could sell me too.
They were a mix of different types of wrappers
I opened a couple of them and found nothing and figured I had gotten someone's dump. However, I opened one roll and it was solid 40% silver halves which was pretty cool.
Only one other roll had a single 40%; all the others were clad.

Just read your post to my wife.
She exclaimed, awsome!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

That is sweet. About a year ago I was lucky enough to get a solid roll of 40% at a bank. Sure makes for a good day.

You will never forget your first time. Congrats PS!

You were probably right... it might have been someone's dump... except they threw one roll in the wrong box before they came back to the bank!

I'm green with envy. Had some nice rolls at times, but never a solid one.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.
$100 Silver soon coming to a location near you.
