Nothing in general circulation is silver, right? Proofs only? Don't all the silver Bicentennials have S mintmarks? If not, is there an easy way to tell?

BTW, in a roll of $20, how many silver coins do you guys find on average? I've done two rolls, found a Bicentennial in the first and a '67 in the second. Low? High? What should I expect?

Thanks!

I bought $300 worth of halves from my local pick-up branch a few times over the winter. I was getting 1 or 2 Bicentennials per roll. I sold a few on eBay. Seems there's a small market out there for them the same way with "drummer boy" Bicentennial quarters. Rolls of which can sell for a premium.

Squashpup... go over to the tracking threads and read Country's Half column. It has all the answers you seek, Luke Don't expect to find more than one forty or ninety per fifty rolls, unless you hit the motherlode.

Hoard now and hold on!
