First Box Of Halves, Advice?

MadMortician,. - go to your bank and ask if they will order you a box, if not - go to other banks in the area and first ask if they have any rolls - sometimes boxes can be lurking - not to mention CWR's have high % probability of silver - although they could be someone elses dump, but I always take a chance, unless I see that it's one of mine that has traveled.

Also// sift through the silver hunters thread - it's on par with the Lincoln thread.

Edited to say:

I have found that credit unions and "local" banks are more than willing to do it for free for their members -

The banks in my area will get you a box of halves ($500) without charging anything for doing so if you have an account with them. If you don't have an account with them, they'll begrudgingly give you whatever small number of loose halves they have on hand at the teller stations but that'll be the limit to their hospitality. My two banks want the halves back unrolled in one of their plastic transit bags of $500 worth of halves so they can ship them out straightaway. They don't like having to keep loose rolls in their vault and count them daily while they wait to get up to the $500 mark so they can ship them.

ive gone around to a few banks in my area that I didnt have an account and let me buy rolls at face value, got 100 dollars worth of rolls of halves at a wachovia no problem, she said I looked like a nice guy and wouldnt normally sell rolls to non customers
