Quote:The third roll was a winner. It contained ten 40% silver Kennedy half dollars (with five of them lining up next to each other at one end of the roll)! This is the first time in almost three years that visiting this branch has paid off. You gotta be patient and keep on trying... Outstanding!

@ NorthShoreMA: Have you seen any 9-11 privy marked halves? Apparently the Boston area is receiving large numbers of them, mixed in to new 2026 boxes.
It might be worth trying to get a box of new halves from somewhere, or just keeping an eye out for them.

It might be worth trying to get a box of new halves from somewhere, or just keeping an eye out for them. I didn't know about the new privy half dollars until I saw your post (after I already cashed the Brinks box full of 2026 half dollars at my dump bank). But I found a few dozen more 2026 half dollars in a different box -- and eight of those half dollars were eight privy coins. I didn't think much of them until I examined these half dollars more carefully when I arrived home. All eight coins have the W mint mark and the "Always Remember" motto. Just my dumb luck, I suppose.

Nice. Hopefully those get to other parts of the country eventually. I've gone through a couple boxes of 2026s, no privys yet.
