numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/14/2009 3:46 pm After a month of searching for rolls of halves, my bank had $100 worth for me today. As I started looking through them I realized that they were already searched. All modern era wrappers, all facing the same way,sorted by year. After 4 rolls with no 40% silver, no 90% silver, no foreign or weird finds I gave up. These were rejects from another searcher. Back to pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

JonS.7070 Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 01/14/2009 10:44 pm I would not give up too easily. I bought 70$ worth today on my lunch and had zero silver. 5 months ago on my lunch on a whim I went to a bank and bought about 200$ worth and six rolls were solid 40%. It is very hit and miss. Just keep trying! You never know when you will find them. Report this Post to the Staff

I searched an entire box of $500 in halves and was SO mad I found nothing but then I searched the last roll and found 2 90% and 6 40% Report this Post to the Staff
Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 01/14/2009 11:22 pm numismo....don't give up! It happens to all of us. Last group of halves I did was all 1971-76's except for 3 40%. It's part of roll hunting, taking the good with the bad. Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 01/14/2009 11:39 pm What do you expect? Nobody actually uses them, so it's going to be streaky when somebody cashes their hoard in and you've just got to hope you hit it right. If you give up that just increases the odds for everybody else! Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/14/2009 11:51 pm You all are right. I'm gonna keep trying. It's just so rare to find halves that when I do I want goodies ! Thanks to all. Report this Post to the Staff
