Don't mind at all.
This is what I do.
I order 6 boxes of halfs each week,(but I never use more than 1K of my own money at one time)
I get 2 from one bank and 4 from a different bank- I order on Fri /Sat- for the following week.
I pick up anywhere from 1 to 4 boxes , depending on if the bank gets their coins, either Thurs/Fri. and finish up with any remaining boxes by Fri afternoon or the latest Saturday morning
I re-dump in different branches of one of the banks. ( they have coin counting machines making it pretty simple to get rid of the halfs at a $1000.00 a bag.)
From Fri to the following Thurs, I go back to roll searching cents/dimes/quarters etc until it's time to do the halfs again.
It gets to be pretty routine.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck Hunting!
Chuck.
* On a rare occasion, I'll pick up a box of halfs on either a Mon/Tues/ or Wed from a TD Bank- but these are BRINKS Wrapped rolls and almost always contains ZILCH!*
The boxes I get on Thurs/Fri are String & Son Wrapped rolls and I've had way better success with them then Brinks.

Nice find Chuckster. Those boxes seem few and far between. I have 2 waiting for me and a 3rd at the bank. Getting 7 boxes next week and hoping for some of Chucksters luck.

Did 2 boxes. Found 11 40% Kennedys. One of them was a 1970 S - my first 1970.
Also, I found an unusual coin. It was a 1988 Kennedy P, but it looks like it just came out of the roll. It has a good well defined stamp, great lustre and nice ridges. In fact, it is so thick and nice, when I pulled it I thought it was a proof. I am normally not big on clad unless it is an NIFC that I need, but I am going to keep it.

Nice job Chuckster!
Finally, I had a decent box yesterday. I picked my usual 2 boxes and was skunked on the first. I was frustrated and ready to take a small break, evident from my post on the previous page. I opened up the second box and the fun began. I ended up with:
20 40% silver 4 1964 3 Franklins 1 Walking Liberty
I was surprised by the finds because not even one roll had a silver piece on the end. I wish I could get a box like this every month, it is truly fun to find this many silver. About 5 years ago, I remember boxes like this were fairly common. Happy Hunting.

Wednesday I went to the to the bank to cash my paycheck and to get a box of nickels. While I was there I asked the teller if she had any halves. She told me she had six rolls and they looked old. I was excited and told her I'll take them. While she was putting them up on the counter I seen the end of one roll and it was a walking liberty. When I got in my truck I started looking through them. Here's is what I received.
61 Walking Liberty 58 Franklin 1 Canadian Half (1957)
This was the best find I ever had.

Some of your finds amaze me guys, I'm lucky to get NIFC's let alone silver. I think my best find was like 5 90% and a couple 40%'s. Just dreaming of the day I crack open a box and score 20+ silver halves.
