They use coins in blackjack? How does that work?

I've never played blackjack in a casino, but from what I've read, they still use halves sometimes.

Yep, we see a lot of "casino coins" here, or Kennedy's with rounded edges.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Odds for blackjack are 3 to 2. If you bet $5 and receive a blackjack, you win $7.50. Dealers would give you a $5 chip, 2-$1 chips and a half dollar.

i started CRHunting back in 2010. since then I have accumulated so much I have bought, sold and traded most away, but I can remember having almost $2000 worth of it because that's how much I have had to sell to buy things my wife wanted =).

Dang SDcoinguy, I sure hope my wife never makes me do that! I sold $40 worth a few months ago on my own accord, but only because we needed it. If my wife made me sell for here WANTS I might get sad :(

I really have no idea on a true total. I'm working on my 4th roll of War Nickels. My dimes have been mixed with purchased dimes. I had $330 in 40% halves packaged to send to an online dealer but found a local dealer with a competitive offer. On Friday, the online dealer would pay $9.75 and the local dealer will pay $9.40 for $1 face value. That amounts to about $100 less for the lot, not considering, shipping, insurance, waiting for payment, and the fear of something going wrong. Anyway, got a little off topic...lol. I think I have an additional $140 in 40% halves. No idea how many of the 90%ers were found crhing. Like the dimes, they have been mixed with purchased but I'm guessing around 120 ($60) found crhing. |

I'd like to see what some of the major searches could post for this. I know a couple people that find $1000 in 40 and 90% halves or more annually.

$1K per year in silver halves? That isn't just impressive - that's breathtaking! From what I've seen, it looks like one silver half per box ($500 worth) seems to be the average going rate. Are these people who find $1K/year doing 2,000 boxes per year or do they have some superior method of hunting? I find doing a box of halves to be an OK experience (only 1,000 coins in 50 rolls, and the coins are big and easy to handle for a ham-handed klutz like me), but lugging those overweight suckers (25 lbs ea) home from and back to the banks is a real drag. I'd love to do anything I could to upgrade the success ratio of my half hunting efforts (and thereby diminish the amount of heavy lifting and hauling I have to do).
