Default Finding silver Halfs

This may sound odd. I read it somewhere recently. A woman invested in silver and was running low on funds to buy silver. So she and her husband or boyfriend came up with this ingenious plan! (Only worth the trouble if you live near a casino)

They would go to casinos that still used Kennedy half dollars in the $.50 slots. They would cash in $100 then look for the 1964's. Take the 64s out and cash in the rest for cash. Then go to another kiosk and get more coin.

Guess you would need to be careful, wouldn't want security to think you where up to something MORE fishy.

I've heard of someone else doing the same thing. Good way to increase your probability.

Where there is a will there is a way.
That sure sounds like plan to me.

Default Finding Silver Halves

I've done the same thing but instead of Casino's I went to local banks! $100.00 at a time may be too much, most only have a roll or so! I pick out the 1964 halves and the 40% silver halves and return or spend the rest!...............HH..............Joe
