    Nice find Halsey,
    I really like coins with writing on the side. I think they look more professional.
    There was a thread on here about coins with writing on the side if anyone is interested... but it may have been deleted in the great silverstackers crash or relocation of 2011 (i think)

    I think i'l have to change banks. My bank told me that they only got them loose from Chubb and i would have to sort through the bags to see if there were any coins that i wanted from the recycled stuff.

    Maybe i also need to change towns. I went to every bank to see if they would save the round 50's for me and offered to buy it from them at spot silver. Most wouldn't and one bank had a teller that did a straight swap with her own 50's. Nice perk.
