| Attempted to buy 1/2s Friday. Both banks I tried before everything closed told me "someone just bought them all a couple days ago". Hummm... I wonder what they heck they were thinking... Got $7 in 1/2s, no silver. It was fun to watch the mexican waitress go streight to the 1/2s I put on the counter like she had never seen something like that before. In my own small way I am getting the 1/2s out into circulation and hope some non-silver ones get hoarded out, so I don't have to sort them again. |

I got tired of driving around looking for halves, only to be told someone else beat me to them. So I got smart and ordered a box. Just finished going through them.
7 40%
1 90%

Mon nite box = Skunk. try again Tues....
I hate coming off a good box into a skunk.
I wouldn't mind finding only 1 40%, but I hate skunk as a follow up. |

I would be very happy with boxes like that. My numbers this year have been very poor -- in the 1 to 2 40% range at best. I have collected a fair number of skunks in 2008. |

I got a visit from the silver santa today!
20 40% halves
1 90% half
I went to the cu and bought $90 in CWR halves. Seven were by one person and in those there was 1 90% 1964. But the last two had words from above on them:
"1965, 1966-1968 and a 1974 crossed out (thank goodness)" on one
"1967 ONLY (underlined)" on the other
Two rolls of pure 40%! These rolls had an address on them that was out of the county and that CU's service area too. Interesting |

My heart beat always notches up a tick when I see stuff like that written on CWR's.
Awesome score, that's over 11%!

I'm confused.
20 - 40% = 1 - $10 roll
Two full rolls = 40 coins or $20
Which was it ?
Good score anyway you put it.

Yes
Going rate is around $6.50 each
which would be $260
If you have a 1955 in the bunch
then you did real well.
Nice score... |

Thurs nite box.
I ripped open the top and what I shouted can't be posted here;
Staring up at me on top was a 1908 barber half in AG.
The rest of the box only yielded 1 40%
Somehow, I'm not dissapointed. |

| Still, it's a hobby that is paying off for ya. I'd love to do that. But it hurts for me to carry heavy boxes to and from a bank. =/ |

You don't have to get boxes... I just walk in and ask if they have any halves. I always get at least one silver. Today I got 15 dollars in halves from the bank and got one 90% and one 40%. |

Isn't that a wonderful start to a half dollar sort? I have only had that happen to me once that I recall and it was a Franklin, not near as fun as a Barber half. That's a good feeling when you open the box up and see a different design which you KNOW is 90%.
Box last night yield three 1968s. At least no skunking. I wish Silver Santa would show up soon. |
