Today the wife cheated on me again and went through two boxes before I could get home. She found nothing in the first box. Not even NIFC. Second box, 14 40% including a 69 proof! These were the keepers....  And the proof...

smokeriderdon, can you give us some tips on training the little ladies to do this for us? Seems you have definitely found a keeper. I only get weird looks when I spend the evening looking at coins.

Forgive me if this is a noob question, but how do you get boxes of half dollars to search. The only way that I know to get half dollars is from the coin counting machine from the bank but that takes months to get $500 worth. I figured that this is the best place to ask this question.
Thanks guys.

Nice finds Smokeriderdon and Chuckster! FINALLY! I came across a decent box today. I picked my usual 4 boxes and came across 66 silver keepers - 5 90% JFK and 61 40%JFK. Here's the breakdown: Box1 - 37 40%, 1 90% Box2 - 15 40%, 4 90% Box3 - 7 40% Box4 - 2 40% I haven't had a box like #1 in over a year. Have 2 more coming tomorrow and hope to continue my success.

My girlfriend was off work today and had to go to the courthouse. I knew of a bank about a block away. I asked her to go in and ask for half dollars. I didn't have any cash though, so I gave her about $22 in quarters I had laying around! :) She ended up not going to the bank I asked her to, which was great. She went to a Sovereign bank which only had a loose half. She then went next door to another bank where they had a roll of halves and miscellaneous halves (none good). When I saw the roll, I knew in my heart what was about to happen. When I opened them, I was in disbelief!   A solid roll of 1964s, mostly in GREAT condition! HI RES PIC
