Searched five banks today. Found $35 in loose halves, including 2 rolls. Found 2 '69d, 2 84S's beat up, and 1 1961 dime in reject tray. First time I ever got rolls of halves from teller.

bishfti: I was just in Vegas last week and some of the Fremont Street casinos still had nickel and quarter machines that accepted and paid out in coin but I couldn't find any half dollar or dollar machines that did. I did see some dollar tokens and half dollars in the cashiers cage at Fitzgerald's but there was a long line...
Look in the back corners for the older machines at the smaller casinos, that would be your best bet. Also watch the Black Jack tables for halves, if they have them they would likely be visible there, then you can go on and request some at the cage.

I am curious, we all go to banks and order boxes, would it be possible to go to Brinks or Loomis directly and buy boxes or bags of halves directly from them? I know that Loomis has two locations in the city in which I live.

Did one box on Thursday. $500. BOA. Brinks Rolled. Box was busted and taped. Some of the rolls were taped. I knew I had "fresh" coins after going through 2 or 3 rolls. Very refreshing after several boxes that were marked and obviously searched. Ended up with an ugly gold plated bicentennial, several 2011 P&D's, a couple proofs, 4 40%, one 1964 Kennedy and a 1944 WL. Very exciting. Best box since my first BOA box.

I went by the bank today for loose halves. They only had one, but offered to order me a box. As I was leaving, I saw something bright white in the teller's tray. Sure enough, I found a 1963 90% quarter...

Quote: I have gone through $30 THOUSAND in halves and haven't found a single one Wrestling_135, when you said you've searched through $30,000 in halves and haven't found a silver, do you mean you have not EVER found a silver, or it's been $30,000 in face value of halves since you last found a silver? I just want to make sure I know what you mean.

I got three halves from a bank teller. Two sacrificed themselves for a groundhog cheese muffin and hash brownies, the third was an unc 40% Bison-tennial.

Did all the 40% bicentennials come from the Mint encased in the mylar plastic wrap? I wonder if it was taken out of the wrap and found its way in circulation. Does anybody know?
