Mark Stilson Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Picked up two rolls of halves today, all the bank had. Nothing major but did turn up. Did get 10 40% silver halves though. 1 65p, 2 66p, 1 67p, 5 68d, 1 69d and 1 struck thru grease 2000 P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinmelt Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Wow.. 10 40% from two rolls now that is a good find. I went through $260 two days ago and only found 2 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I need to get in with one of the tellers and maybe they will be nice and call me when they get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinmelt Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 A few tellers told me they buy up the silvers whenever they come in. So they'll call you alright but there won't be any silver, lol. I went through $500 in dimes today and found 12 silver rossies and 1 silver 1956 Canadian Dime - $19 in melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Went to 6 different banks, no other rolls of halves. Some actually checked others just said none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinmelt Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Around here (southwest florida) the only bank that really seems to have them in $100+ increments is Wachovia. I bought $100 worth at the Wachovia across the street and they were already checked (had a checkmark on the roll). Then about 10 miles up the road, in another town, I got $100 more from a different Wachoiva. That's where I found some silver but not much. Bank of America a few towns over had 3 rolls - thats it. And of course they were already searched ( a large sharpie marking) Regions Bank doesn't even order them and rarely has them from customers. Yeah, smaller banks seem to work nicely but I was posting about some nationwide banks and my local experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well, this is kind of fun. A mixed bag today. Decided since I had good luck on the others I'd pick up some more. 4 rolls $40 worth got 4 90% 1964 halves and 6 %40 halves. 1 66, 1 67, 3 68 d's, and 1 69 d. A little over $47 worth of silver. (BTW handy site there Coinmelt.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Good day today. I did go $100 total worth of half dollars. Got 10 1964's, 2 1965's, 8 1966, 22 1967's , 11 1968 d's, 7 1969 d's All of these except 1 was in 4 rolls of the halves. (BTW I did check for accented hair on all of the 64's, but my luck is not that good. ) This last group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Whats funny I am pretty sure a few other half dollar roll searchers are in the area. One bank had some what were marked nothing notable in them. And I saw on another forum some one else finding the same markings on them from the Houston area. Figured I'd just stay out of that area on my searches. This last batch was a pretty good distance out of this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ask your branches lead teller to order a box of halves for you($500). Keep the good stuff and bring the non keepers to the busiest branch in your area, not where you bought them, lead tellers hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
