Thanks Finn, I am actually surprised at how circulated the regular halves are. Haven't fouind any yet that are AU/BU. 3 of those 1964's are AU/BU--very nice they are. I will post when done with whole box-hope to have several more!

Nice finds!

We do have an ongoing super monster Half Dollar thread if you want to add them there...

I've never done a box but I'd say you've done well!

Finished the box! Wow, that was fun and cool. Found a lot more than expected. Sry the pic is not great. In case you can't tell in the pic, I got 10 1964's-most were BU. 4-1967's, 1-1965(nice one), 1-1966, 2-1967's(one nice one), 3-1968's-all nice, 2-1969's-both nice and 4 proofs. Ready for the next box--problem is that I got that up north-will have to go back there on next business trip.

Excellent first box these are definitely not normal to find this much silver however if you can buy another box from the same bank as this box likely has a twin

That is an excellent haul!

I miss searching through half dollar rolls. Now that my bank only accepts wrapped coins it's not really worth the effort anymore.

For the first time, definitely got me hooked now!! I think I just hit beginners luck and probably will not have that much luck again but I am going to order another box soon!!

At today's melt price, that's $80.50 net profit for this little mining adventure. A vein that any hard-rock silver/copper miner would love to get into!

That was a great haul, congrats! I remember when I went up north towards the UP, I visited several small banks around Newberry. At one particular bank, the tellers snickered as they handed over the rolls filled with 40% halves. Many old schoolers considered 40%'ers not worthy and "dirty". The joke was on the tellers as I snatched up the rolls and flipped them later for a nice profit.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
