Ya thats true but I am a college student who is 19 years old and doesn't have a full time job. I'm making about 300$ a month and have a girlfriend so we are looking at maybe spending 100$ a month lol.

I'd have to go back a couple years to post my firsts. Keep it up and you will hit the solid silver roll. Right place at the right time!
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Then, you hit one bank that has $100 worth and you open it them up to see 3 full rolls of silver. They are joking either. Check out this bank score I made in April of 09. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...silver,hoard |

Yup I believe it, what if I wanted to go to the bank and turn back in some of the duplicates I received today but dont have the paper for the rolls still. Do you think they will take them?

I have gotten them in home made rolls where someone just rolled them in a piece of paper and taped it shut. Just don't take them back where you got them. Find one bank where you are going to dump your rejects and stick with it. I take mine to the next town down the road and still manage to get some of the rolls back here where I live. I mark my old rolls with a special symbol.

Find at least one "dump bank" and take your rejects there. And stick with it. Here's what happened to me just before Christmas: https://goccf.com/t/76902Perseverance is the key. |

Can you take them to any bank at all, even if you do not have an account with the bank? Will they still cash them?

Take them to any bank but make sure they are rolled. They may count every single one or they may count one and do a height comparison with all the others. It is US currency so you can just spend them if you want. oh and okiepb that is amazing. All I found is proof silver half dollars. Thats about it. I have found close to 80 40% silver halves and 2 90% halves. I have searched every bank in the Northeast Cincinnati area and I have not found silver in awhile. Got one today though.

How exactly do you know if they are 40% silver halfs or 90%?

1964 and before are 90% (currently .36 oz of silver) and 40% are 1965-1970 (they have .14 oz of silver). The proofs are a different story though. Some are 40% and some are 90%. the 1976s proof MAY be 40%. they started to make some 90% silver proofs in 1992. They have both 90% and clad.

you can usually tell by dropping a silver coin on the ground. The silver coins have a higher pitch than copper-nickel clads.

Spending them is fun also. Go to Taco Bell and buy your lunch with them just to see what happens. Use a couple of $2 bills or a beat up Ike along with them if you can.

yes that is always fun. I get looks all the time. I have never been denied. But I have asked for half dollars from the bank and the lady thought they were dollar coins. I had to explain that they were only worth half of a dollar.

Yea, I cashed my duplicates back in today and am going to head back out tomorrow and get some more from regions. What banks have you had luck at, I hit about 6 banks today and none had any. I live in Brentwood and it is a very rich area so you would think that people would have some, but I think there are a lot of collectors around my area.
