Had a bit of good luck yesterday. Stopped at a bank teller has 4 rolls. Opened first one all clad, next 3 solid silver. Very nice surprise. This bank is now on my frequent flyer list for a little while.

That is a nice score of silver!

I got a question for y'all. I got six rolls from my bank yesterday and they were solid NIFC halves. Should I keep them? Try to sell and make a little? I have all the dates already.

Cabo, Bishftl awesome scores. Man I miss finding that silver. I picked up a box yesterday and skunked. I was hoping for some more 2021's, no luck on those either. Enjoy seeing the photos of all that beautiful silver. Thank you for sharing.

Thought I would try me hand at half dollar roll hunting, I did a little bit of hunting back in the early 1980's and had some success here and there but it all seemed to dry up when we had a big silver boom and everyone was looking for silver and there were constant ads in the newspaper buying up these coins. I bought some bank rolls over the past 10-15 years, maybe $300 per year when the banks had them and I found some silver here and there. I never knew I could order roll boxes from my bank so I ordered 4 boxes and went through them, found a few NIFC and one proof. The rolls are from Loomis, I think there was some speculation that Loomis was checking for silver. I have 4 cases a week coming for the next 12 weeks so we'll see if that's true!

Unless they're the ubiquitous 2018-D coins, probably yes, jason39305.

Otherwise, it also depends on the dates of the coins and if they're just random rolls of NIFCs or the ones the government sells. I lucked upon a few of the government sold ones several months ago and was able to make quite a nice profit on them on ebay.

Go into one of my local banks last Tuesday teller usually doesn't have any halves. Surprises me with a few rolls. Before I leave she says she has 2 loose halves if I want them also and puts 2 1942s on the counter. All the other silver came from one roll.
