of-grampa Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 07/30/2008 12:30 pm I went to the north part of the state to visit my Dad and we went bank-hopping while I was there. I found 1 64 and 10 40%. It won't pay for the gas but it sure was fun spending time with my Dad Report this Post to the Staff
Silver Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 858 Posts	Posted 07/30/2008 10:06 pm It sounds like everyone is doing rather well with the half dollar roll searches. I was so excited by all of the success stories, that I ordered two boxes for Friday. I've looked through boxes for three years (every week $1000), but had some dry spells during the last year. I remember when I first started in 2005, for the first two years it was definitely uncommon to get a box with no silver at all! Boy, I miss those days. Anyways, wish me luck and I'll post my finds on Saturday! Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff

A LOT !!......every fourth or fifth coin in a roll one time !! There are SO MANY of them floating around !...>>Whether from Fed Boxes or customer wrapped or bank wrapped........doesn't matter ! I think too, that's one coin that people let go of first when they need gas money or something !! Not knowing their real low value, so many people have saved them through the years.....and so "cycle dumps" keep us finding them quite often.....IMHO Report this Post to the Staff

chris1222nascar Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/01/2008 9:37 pm I just looked through $350 of fed wrapped rolls and found one 40% Kennedy. Then I looked through $240 of customer wrapped rolls and found 12 40%, one NIFC (2005-P), and a roll of BU Bicentennials and roll of BU 1998 P (I know not worth anything but its still cool to find). Anyone else look for halves along the gulf coast? Report this Post to the Staff
Silver Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 858 Posts	Posted 08/01/2008 9:50 pm Remember, if you can't find rolls of halves, request to order by the box. Be persistent, but nice, it ususally pays off! Besides, the San Francisco FED is a huge district and I'm sure they have plenty of halves in stock! Report this Post to the Staff
of-grampa Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 08/01/2008 11:42 pm I worked a $500 box yesterday. Didn't find any silver but I did find 3 74d DDOs. I'm gonna have to have another sale LOL Report this Post to the Staff
