Ive generally only save the nicer ones as anything below AU isn't really marketable in any way, but I have found a demand for AU/BU examples at $0.75 to a $1 depending on the date.

XoG - been doing the same, with the expectation to bunch a few together in auctions on the Bay.
Stopped at bank to sell back/dump some coin at lunch, and the teller told me someone brought in $60 in halves. I bought them:
26 - 90%
33 - 40%.
Woo-hoo!
The rest was all 71-77's. Lots of Bicentennials.
I went back in and gave the teller 4 of the 1964's and explained them a little to her, told her they were worth approx $20. She said she'll keep holding "odd" stuff for me and thanked me.

Stop these Silver hunters from trespassing on the Family's territory ! .....PLEASE ! Now all hear this. I'm a superstitious man. And if some unlucky accident should befall Eaglefoot--if he's to suddenly be informed by his tellers that they no longer have any customer rolls for him, or should he be finding only marked halves in his boxes, and no silver...or, if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning--then, I'm going to blame some of the people in this room. And, then I do not forgive... Good enough?  |

Yep - that is 3 times I've hit pretty big with customer rolls from the same bank in about a 6 week period. The first two were the same customer, this one was probably different, as the rolls were different, and the placement of the silver was random - not full rolls as before.
I've been very blessed to be able to find nearly 200 90%ers in such a short timeframe.
Also - I went ahead and ordered another $500 bag of halves to give those another shot too. Man, is disposing of these things a PITA! My banks that have the coin counters charge a fee for over $100 in coin, so I've been making $98 dumps. LOL.

Got my first box today and I'm $300 into it with one 40% found so far. Hopefully there's more goodies but at least I didn't get skunked. No NIFC or anything else interesting in there - a lot of these halves must be returns though, I've got a number different sharpie marks. Someone out here marks a lot of the bicentennials with a purple dot on the reverse (or that's a common way to mark them) because I've found them in strings and brinks rolls at a number of banks in the area.
