So I passed through town the other day and went 10-12 total banks. I asked every bank if they had half dollars and I was able to get 6 total rolls. One bank I got 3 rolls, I went to the car and oppened up the first roll. I found 11 silver 40% half dollars I was in complete shock. The other 2 rolls had nothing though. The other 3 rolls from other banks had nothing, but one had a 1963 franklin. I went to one bank and they had 2 loose half dollars I bought them and after looking at them they were both 40% silver, a 1966 and a 1967 I was in shock agian. Anyways thoose were my finds and it was pretty exciting.

Haven't tried roll hunting but my wife has a change jar that was filled, so I asked her if I could browse it a bit before she took it to the credit union. I was surprised to find some things in there that were worth worth keeping. Came up with 4 40% quarters from 1965-67, a couple of 1965-66 dimes, some nickels (although I'm not real sure about which ones are worth more than $0.05, if any), and a couple of dozen pre-82 copper pennies. Oldest coin was a 1919 penny. Four of the pennies were wheats. I'm not a penny collector but I figure what the hey... a little copper might come in handy one day... or not, who knows? Also bought a couple of 40% halves from my son. I don't collect 40% silver coins so will probably trade them and a little cash sometime for some 90% silver coins. |

According to a popular web site that sho . values, the dimes and quarters I so laboriously separated out from the rest of the herd are not 40% silver at all. So much for not checking before searching. Sorry for the false alarm.  |
