I'm pretty sure you can obtain a very similar box for $500 from any bank where you have an account, and even from some banks you don't have an account.
More to the point, and to answer your question;

If you pick up 1.35 each

after Ryedale sorting they are hand sorted to remove canadian then rechecked with Ryedale to insure all copper and count out $50 FV then placed in cloth bags and sealed with #1 copper wire. |

Estimated price over a thousand dollars. And the seller doesn't mention 90% Kennedys, Franklins, etc... It would probably get more attention that way. He only says the dates range from 1965-2001, but from experience we know that you can find post 01's in a box and pre 65's |

| Lol...damm I need to start selling these. Even after the EBay fees, I could make a little spare cash selling these. |
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

Wanna bet it doesn't achieve estimate?
I wanna add a buyer's premium to my auctions.. to offset the high ebay/Paypal fees. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

I find the description so enticing...
"This $500 unopened box contains 50 bank wrapped rolls of U.S. half dollars. They are "unsearched," meaning we have not gone through to determine the details of the coins. Our experience has been that about half the coins will be uncirculated, and we have also found 40% silver clad halves. Possible error coins could be present. Dates may range from 1965-2001. All mint marks may be represented.
The box came directly from the Federal Reserve Bank, and it is still sealed.
Have fun, and good luck searching through these half dollars." |
