*Official January 2020 Half Dollars and Other Coins

[Saabman]

Fabulous! Any indication of whether these might be from a returned hoard, or tapping into an unsearched part of a old stored pallet of halves?

Go for it - order as many as you can until it taps out!

I haven't a clue where these came from........but all of them are BU's. I mean they are blast white. Crazy!

I'm calling the bank today and I'll ask if they can get a couple of more boxes this week.........

[Recyclersteve]

Should have labeled the picture...... All 131 halves found in the last three boxes.......

This brings up an interesting situation. You don't want to appear to be too excited when going into the bank as bank employees will start to wonder what they are missing out on. Then all you need is for one enterprising employee to start researching silver halves on the internet and perhaps coming to a site like this one. Next thing you know, they are competing against you and the well runs dry.

Not trying to be negative at all, but I'd be very low key at the bank and say something like "it looks like I will be needing more halves than I thought. I can use another $xxx (or $xxxx if you prefer)." When you are back in your car and about a half mile away, then you can shout to the rooftops (assuming no cops are around to pull you over and question you)...

Congratulations on the dream silver vein you have struck. Keep on mining.

By my calculations, Saabman has found over $800 in silver coins in his last 3 boxes of halves.

Holy cow Roger!! You deserve it. Keep up the great work.

Two boxes of nickels, no silver, or numismatic coins.

The first box was clearly rolled and boxed by Loomis.
The second box was CWR in a Wells Fargo box. This box shows evidence of a previous sorting. Lots of bank wrapping paper, most showed the yellow colour of half dollar rolls.

Not a big score, but nickels are nickels. This run was an attempt to be productive, sane, while being trapped inside for a week.

Doh! I'm an idiot. This is the January thread. Thanks for the kind words. I'll try to get up to speed again.
