    My $500 experiment...

    I've come late to the game of looking for silver-y and other neat coins to acquire. Not really as a true coin collector but just to have fun to have. Trying to find any 90% silver U.S coins 1964 and earlier in general circulation is extremely rare. The 1965-1970 half dollars were 40% silver (not all the 1970 were) but I've gotten a roll here and there or loose half dollars from the banks off and on for about a year and half but no luck. I have found some 1976 Bicentennial Philly mint (plain) half dollars. I've decided to keep them because it was a pretty cool event and maybe they'll be worth more than face value in the future for my kids (maybe g-kids).

    So I ordered an entire box ($500, 50 rolls) and picked it up today. It weighs about 25 pounds. My goal is to find 1% of something to keep of either 90% silver (very,very low chance), 40% silver (very low chance), and 1976 Bicentennial Philly mint (probable). What will also be interesting will be taking all the rest back in dribbles and drabs of $10 and $20 at a time. I'm sure there will be some eye rolling and sighs by all the people involved except me (he, he, he, he)
