I have not had much time to search the last month and my good luck has diminished last 3 boxes only 1 40% I was at my Grandmas house in Ohio for a week and was able to get about $200 in CWR it yielded 1 40% and then I got another 40% in a tellers tray as well as a nice 72 proof.

On Friday, in searching various banks in my area for any halves, I managed to find two sealed boxes as well as several Bank and Customer Wrapped Rolls. I also found the usual loose halves at many banks. In the first box I managed to pull 3 40% halves, a '65 and 2 '67s, a few NIFC, and a Magicians coin. The second box yielded only a few NIFC. On Saturday I managed to find another sealed box and a few loose rolls. The box yielded a lone '67, but also contained a 1959 Columbian 50 Centavos, which has a silver rim but research proved it to be Copper-Nickel, and a British One Penny as well as a few NIFC. I just picked up $190 in loose Bank wrapped rolls for me to run through tonight. I'm still waiting for my first 90% half from a bank wrapped roll. The only ones I have found have been loose from the tellers tray.

Yay Chuckster! Please could you post a photo of the 1920 Walking Lib? That's a very early one to find in circulation - when they do turn up, they're usually from the 1940s...

Nice find on the Walker Chuckster. I always enjoyed finding a Walker more than any other coin. The Walking Liberty half is one of my favorite coin designs.

Usually whenever I go into a bank and ask if they have halves they say no, but finally yesterday I stopped in a branch and they happened to have $56.50 in halves. I bought them all, but not so much as a single 40%... Most of them were casino-wrapped rolls, one or two bank rolls that looked very old, and some that the teller had in his drawer.
