320.00 dimes = 1956, 1960, 1964-D Roosies and the ugliest 1916 Merc I've ever seen!
100.00 nickels = 1943-S War nickel
11.00 loose halves from teller's tray, all 22 were 40% silver!! She was glad to get rid of them!
A good day!

Those useless halves no one wants. I can never find any.

About $300 face of CWR Canadian dimes -> 23 American dimes and 2 UK 5 pence.

Also scored 13 x 2015 Colourized Canadian Flag $25 face value silver coins with collector covers all encapsulated. I had not gotten that coin yet, so kind of a cool buy. Each coin is just over 1/4 troy ounce .999 fine silver. Looks like this. http://m.ebay.ca/itm/111573493863?_mwBanner=1

I could only source $6 worth of halves between two banks, skunk. I'm not sure if I've ever found a silver half. I think I traded for the ones I have.

$250 Canadian CWR dimes = 42 US, 2x5 UK pence, and two silver dimes - a 80% 1961 and a 50% 1968 (maybe the first silver 68 I've found?)
