Silver just seems to keep turning up out there! I went to three banks yesterday and got 11 rolls. Compiled 3 64s and 15 40%s before I opened the last roll in the bunch that was solid 1968d! Strange thing about the rolls was that almost every non silver coin was a bicentennial. I got one roll that had the original stamp on it from Sept. 1975 and was solid nicely toned bu bicentennials.

No it was a regular roll 20 coin roll but one of the old yellow looking ones stamped Aug. 22 1975. The coins had nice rainbow toning. I have yet to see a shotgun roll but have been anxiously anticipating stumbling across some!

Grabbed a total of 5 rolls from 2 different banks today. The 3 rolls from the first bank yielded no silver but did have one NIFC! A 1987P. The 2 rolls from the second bank had 4- 40%.

The 1987 really shocked me, about 2 months ago I got the 1987D. Today I grabbed a ziplock bag with $33.50 in halves from a bank that rarely has any and got 2-40%. (I'm still looking for the 1970)

Finally got my first $500 box from the bank today.

Not too bad in my opinion. 2 - 1964 and 10 - 40%.

Im gonna try and see if they will order me another box.

I was in Portland, Maine over the weekend for a family event and thought I'd hit some banks for halves. Out of $150+ that I purchased I only found one 40% silver half. Some tellers reported that "someone" had recently come in to take all their halves. I wonder if Maine Jim had cruised through Portland and picked it clean?

I noticed many otherwise AU coins were heavily marked and were totally missing the edge reeding. Is this a sign that they were used in slot machines? They did not have the circular scrapes near the rims that come from coin counting machines....

As an aside, several tellers refused to sell halves because I didn't have an account. Out here in laid-back CA I almost never run into this. If the tellers have them, they're usually happy to move them out.

On Monday (11/2) my first bank stop only produced $4 in halves, but one was a 67! My next stop produced 7 rolls! I was surprised and anxious to tear into those babies!

I was shocked as to what I found. I really didn't have high silver expectations but I was pleasantly surprised. I found 19 more 40% halves and 6 proofs including 3 1996 S.

I do seem to have better luck in the smaller towns than I do in downtown Nashville.

I too run into an occasional bank and/or teller that is a jerk about selling me halves! Most banks are glad to get rid of them. And I also find that the banks in the smaller towns surrounding a big city are better for finding silver than in the city itself. I figure where there are more people...more people are searching and dumping half dollars!
