Went to the bank today and asked if they had any Kennedy Halfs...they had $20 in the vault and one of the tellers had 3 in her purse...:) Haven't had time to check them out yet...but getting ready to do it. They are 70, 80 and 90's and 2 bicentennials.  |

It was worth the shot to try and get any silver.

Sometimes I wish I lived in the States so I could go through half dollars, ours were changed in size when we switched from silver so I'd have no luck here.

Next time I visit, I know where I'm going, and you can take that to the bank!

No silver. Lots of 1971 where it could have been 40%...but no luck.

Highly unlikely for 1971 40% halves to exist. Impossible for 71 Philadelphia as they never struck any 40% halves in Philadelphia. Unlikely for 71-D's because Denver hadn't struck any for circulation for two years and there was only one small run for mint sets in 1970. A single small run like that makes accounting for all the blanks a lot easier.

Well, it was still worth a try. Hopefully you will have better luck next time.  |

Wadda ya mean better luck next time! Looks to me like he has a good start on a set of Kennedy halves. Unless of course his sole intention was to melt my hobby, then of course I'm happy he found no silver. |

Ask your bank if they can order you a box of halves. I used to do this and I think they came in boxes of $1000. They were glad to order for me but didn't really like me bringing back the rejects,ha...
