@ 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.

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.

Fantastic find! But I thought that the privy was on the quarter is it both or just the half? |

The July 4th privy is on the quarter. The 9-11 privy is on the half.

Today I acquired six rolls of 2026 half dollars at a credit union. Two rolls each contained four privy coins with a W mint mark, and I found another coin in a different roll. All of the other half dollars were minted in Philadelphia, and none of them had a privy. I'm puzzled why the Federal Reserve Bank distributed so many of these coins in the Bay State. Now I have 17 of them. I will trade one of these uncirculated coins for: (1) a 90% silver half dollar of your choice; or (2) three 40% silver Kennedy half dollars (if I am allowed to do that on this forum).  |

I found a reasonable number of silver half dollars this week at three different banks. First a teller at a location that until now hasn't been very productive told me the bank had $50 in CWRs. When I arrived there, I also purchased five more coins in the teller's tray -- and one of them contained 40% silver. Two of the rolls were in old-fashioned wrappers, and one even had a 40% silver "ender". But I found only one more 40% silver coin in that roll, and the second one didn't contain any silver. A Loomis box I acquired at a different bank the same day had two proof "enders". I found two more proof coins and three 40% silver Kennedy half dollars in that box. The Franklin half dollar was the only silver coin in the three boxes I purchase each week from a different bank in the same town -- which unfortunately has gone "cold" this month.     |
