First time ever, the bank had no halves so I had them get $100 of halves put together from their other branches and scored 1 64 and 1 67 from that.

Went back to NYC and stopped in a bank and they had $7.50 in halves and 12 were 40% silver.
Been back a half a dozen times since and each time got nothing.

I was into roll searching back in the 1990's. Most of my first silver coins (all denominations) came from rolls, not purchases. My Franklin half dollar collection was built from roll searching, either directly (from the roll finds) or indirectly (by trading duplicate silver finds for the ones I needed). |

I voted yes but truly I wish that the answer really is "sometimes". Yesterday I went to my bank and asked if they had any "funny money" (their terminology). The came out with $4 in Susan B' and $5 in '64 halves. So it was a good hit, but there was a fellow there who said the he had a lot more at home and wanter me to go with him. I didn't.
This was really lucky, as a lot of the time I get skunked..

I have a good relationship with the bank one of my businesses banks at -- and they ordered me $2,000 in halves. I pick them up this Friday.
I was told they've been sitting in one of their vaults for years now, and they have about $10,000 more.
I'll post my results when I'm done searching :)

The first time I went to cash a paycheck at a new bank and asked for a roll of halves. Pulled 2 shiny new 1968's.
I was immediately hooked and ordered a box.
5-40%'s and a 1987p.
The following week got one more box from a different bank. Got exactly the same as before.
5-40% and a 1987p.
it's been an addiction ever since.
8-12 boxes a week for 6 months now.

I've roll hunted since I was 10 or 12. Back in 1980 I roll hunted in high school. There are just as many or more silver coins to be found today as in 1980 and $50oz silver.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

my first experience into CRH was when I ordered $1,000 from RBC Centura Bank in halves....I found one 40%'er and I have yet to order another round of boxes....but I'm getting the itch.....sometimes luck comes in waves...but you can always play the law of large numbers :-)

Good luck ianp. I hope you get some good ones,but if they have been sitting in a vault somewhere they are probably all bicentenials.  |

Very interesting reading about how everyone started collecting half dollars! It makes me more addicted to search my own half rolls
