Hey guys.
So far I've only sorted cents because I felt all the silver is gone. Especially since I live in L.A. there can't be any silver right? WRONG!!! From the $290 in halves I picked up today I found 4 Franklins, 1 Walking, 14 1964 Kennedys and 27 40%. UNBELIEVABLE, whahahaha  . I almost did not get them, initially the teller said they had none, but the manager or someone overheard and told her. I also got a free bag when the teller saw me stuffing the coins in my pockets . Well I hope this encourages other noobs like myself out there.
BTW is the bag made out of hemp?

Nice score! Dont expect to find this every time though. These are CWR so those are the best ways to go.
No, I dont belive the bags are made out of hemp. |

Stuff like this is usually how it is. The way you word your questions and inquiries play a factor in whether you'll get the lot or not.
Congrats! |

Great Find
I wish I could just once find something older than a '64
Time to crack open these rolls and see what I find. |

Congrats Dalsuh! I rarely sort halves but this gives me motivation to see if I can find some CWR's. Maybe I'll get lucky.

| Congrats on your find Dalsuh! I would like to buy Cwr but the problem at my pickup bank is the head teller collects coins so when she gets halves she goes through them!. Although one time she did tell me they had halves but there was no silver in them and i got three rolls and found 1 forty percenter! |

| It's really annoying when they separate them out right in front of you. |

| Wow! I asked at two local banks, and only one had some halves, about 10, and all were newer. I need to look around some more! |

I guarantee that you will find a Walker or Franklin. Keep searching - these coins are out there; plenty of folks cashing in their coins at banks because they need the money. |
