| $500 in halves, found 5 40%'s. That's about normal for me so I guess the dry spell is thankfully over. |

| I have been gathering halves all day. Found a fed box at one bank and I got 80 rolls from various banks. This includes 30 rolls with a familiar number on the wrapper. I have seen this number from past purchases from the same bank. Last time it was a hit. I have opened four rolls and thus far I have a 61 Ben F. a 64, a 65, and a 66. I expect this time will be a hit also. I will post the total later so those who are totalling can total. If the want to. |

$100 CWR Halves
1-90%
1-40%
2005-D, 2004-P
A 1867-1982 Candian dollar coin. I thought it could be silver but it stuck to a magnet. A little bit thicker and wider than a half. Cool find. |

Picked up $60 in halves in a large ziplock bag at a bank I don't go to very often. Reached in and grabbed a handful, and there was Ben staring back at me.. a 57-D. That was the only keeper out of the bunch, but I am very happy with much silver out of such a small batch.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

Very nice findings.
I've not been lucky enough to find that commemorative, but just knowing others find them gives me hope.
May your good fortune continue! |

I don't know if this counts as searched or not. I have a box of US nickels ($100) that is apparently all 2008 BU nickels.
Definitely a skunk. |

31 rolls of halves....
I opened one roll and it was all 40's and a couple of 90's.
total silver:
90's - 6
40's - 80
A good day.
Fed orders around here really suck. The scores are at small banks where folks have turned in their collection. |
