I typically do not search halves. I was picking up a box of pennies and nickels at one of my pick up banks today. The teller asked me if I wanted 2 rolls of halves. I asked her if they were customer rolled and she said yes. I figured I was going to get someone's cast offs.
However, when I got home. One roll had one 1964 90% half and the other roll had one 1965 and one 1967 40% halves.
I figured for just searching $20 worth of halves that it wasn't a bad haul :)

| Congrats...it's awesome to find silver when you're only searching through a small amount of coins. Question now is...are ya hooked on halves? |

| I searched $1000 from bank wrapped rolls once and got skunked so I just focused on pennies and nickels but this may changes things haha |

| I picked up $30 bucks today in halves and found a 1965 and a 1968. I can't decide if I should start ordering boxes or just pick up rolls here and there that customers turn in. Seems I'm having better luck with the customer rolls lately. |

| I can only afford a few rolls of halves here and there. I've actually been amazed at how well I've come out doing this. One roll yielded 7- 40%. I've also found several 1964 Kennedy's and 1 Franklin! |
Are you throwing that out? |
