Just went through two fed boxes ($1000) and four custumer wrapped rolls ($40) of halves. I ordered the two boxes and the bank already had the $40. I was excited to hear about the $40 in customer wrapped rolls because my bank never has any customers turn in halves, and you have the best chance of striking silver in customer wraps. Well, turns out it was somebodys small dump because the wrappers all had red X's marked on them. Nothing.

But in the boxes I did find 5 40%'s. A 2003-D and a 2003-P (NIFC). And a very circulated 1977-S proof. Not anything amazing but at least I pulled out something.

I also did find two bicentennial halves that look like they were cut out of a set. They were high grades and have some nice gold/purple toning. Very nice looking.

$430 in halves netted 04-P, 04-D, (2)05-P, 06-P. And lots of 90s compared to other amounts of halves.

The holes are getting filled slowly. [Still need 02-D, 03 (both), 05-D, 06-D, 07 (both), and 08-D.]

I had to do some running around for business today and stopped by a dozon banks and got 2-Bennies and 2-90% and 8-40%. I would say it was a good day for the exception of having to seat in traffic so its still a happy dance day
Hey does anyone have any kind of info on 2005 P&D Kenndy rolls like are they worth anything, their from the mint.

Went through two FED boxes last night and pulled 7 40% and 1 1951 S Franklin. Hopefully, next weeks boxes will be better, but I am at least happy to find something.

Well today was a happy dance day. I found one bank that had $270 in rolled halves and when I questioned him how they came to the bank he said some guy brought them in on two trips and the rest from other customers when as close as I can figure that person cashed in $200 and the other 7 rolls had 8-40% and 1-64 Kenndy.
well Florida I live in jersey and their are a lot of banks around here and their bound to be a bunch of rolls laying around its all location location location. OH I all most forgot.

Franklins and Walkers are out there, but you may have to go through many boxes before you find one or two. Consistency is the key for me - I go through two FED boxes per week and sometimes get a stretch of a few weeks where I find nothing. Although, going through a very good box every now and then is what keeps me searching, but boxes like that have been very hard to come by in the last two years. It is like playing the lottery, you never know, but I like the odds of coin roll searching much better!

granted, you have a better chance of winning powerball then finding a 20 million $ coin, but you cant get a refund on non winning powerball tickets either.
