I am a Canadian coin collector and, I often visit my local banks and purchase some coins for hunting. I have found some rare pennies but, NO SILVER.
After reading the CRH topic on this website, I have gotten very excited about US half dollar searching. Luckily, my dad and I are traveling to the US soon and, I plan to get some halves.
I would greatly appreciate any help from experienced US half hunters to answer the following questions:
1. Which banks are the best for haves?
2. Do you have to order them? If so, how long does it take?
3. Do some banks require a membership to withdraw coins?
4. Is there a fee for sending the coins back?
5. Any other helpful hints and tricks?
NOTE: I am not asking you to give away any trade secrets but, I would love some general help. THANKS!
