How cool can that be? What a great find. Not too many of those bad boys around. It pays to be observant no matter where you go. Congratulations on a great recovery.

Nice catch Terry! thumbsup01
I've never seen one of those before! :huh: I looked it up and there is a couple of different designs. Things are getting tough for folks around the country. I wonder if this came out of someones personal coin collection? :confused: Either way, how ever it got there, it's all yours now! thumbsup01 <:
Sweet find! :grin:

Very cool score, nice timing!
Nice catch JT! When i was coin hunting halves last year i got a couple silver Kennedy halves that tellers had in their little coin holders. You just proved it's still possible to find sweet silver at the bank. I got a Franklin half from our bank in town last year. Congratulations on the BTW/WC half!!!! |:cheering:

JT, good eyes. Yup those tellers can have some silver in their trays and that BTW is great looking. I managed to score a 40% from a teller on Saturday.
