I occasionally still check for halves but haven't seen any silver for many months. A $240 buy of rolls at a local Wells Fargo did yield 17 silver-clad halves dating 1966-1969D. I'd love to post more frequently but I'll have to find more silver first. Happy to have found these, at least.

Been a long time since any silver halves turned up for me.

I went back to a bank where I scored over 50 ounces of silver a couple years back. The teller had a few loose halves and I saw that a couple were silver, or at least silver-clad so of course I said I would take them. Then she said her colleague had a bunch of rolls but was out to lunch. I could wait for her to get those, so I did. That teller had a total of $220 worth, consisting of 20 $10 rolls and a single $20 roll. All appeared to be customer-wrapped, or at least teller-wrapped. Was this another big score? I was hoping!

As it turned out, all the $10 rolls were solid BU 2023-P coins. Such a disappointment! The $20 roll however had several silver-clads plus a Susan B. Anthony dollar (a $0.50 profit right there). So, not a major score but 11 silver-clads is more silver than I've seen in quite a while.

Looks like once or twice a year I find something to post. Today a teller had a total of 3 half dollars available; one was a nice BU 1968-D. Hardly worth mentioning, except my local coin shop was selling these for $18 a couple months ago. At least this one didn't cost that much.

I also asked if they had any "big dollars" and to my surprise they did: one $20 roll. I was hoping for silver dollars of course but this was a solid roll of circulated 1974-D clad Eisenhowers. Better than nothing!

I seem to do much better when I get a handful of halves from the teller, than I do when I search boxes!
Just finished two boxes, and only got a few NIFC
Got $10 loose today, and got a '66 silver and, an 84-P with a folded over Rim Fin (thought I had a Cud at first!) and a minor collar clash.
