It's been almost 17 years since I started this thread and wow, we are at over 2 million views. I had no idea I was going to stimulate this much roll searching for silver in halves when I started this.
I'm glad to see so many have found silver and they are still out there!
My own roll searching of halves has gone to almost nothing in the past few years. Banks just don't have them, and it does not seem customers are bringing in many anymore. I am lucky to get $2 in halves lately. I have been skunked too many times by ordering boxes, so I always have preferred customer wrapped rolls.
The last box I ordered was the worst box I ever searched. Many coins were marked on obverse, reverse or sides with different colors (red, blue, black), meaning the coins had been searched multiple times at this point. There was not a single keeper in the entire box, even examining for the varieties that are not widely searched for. No silver, not a single NIFC, no proofs, just nothing.
More recently I have been searching through modern dollars, with better results, but there is no chance of silver there.
