EddieCRH New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 5:43 pm I'm still a newbie at coin roll hunting. I've been hunting now for about 3 months. Today was my first time hunting halves. I went to 2 different banks and ended up with $600 in rolled halves. Here is my silver finds today. Beginners luck ?

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 5:48 pm Yea these are not normal results especially in only $600 worth. You got someone's collection possibly dumped by their relatives. Report this Post to the Staff

mike9999999 Valued Member Canada 224 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 6:17 pm I also had beginners luck, but not this big. In Canada halves haven't been found at banks since 2004, but nickel rolls still go back to 1937 (that's when the beaver design was first used). On my second hunt out of $80 in nickels I found $30 FV to be old (w/ a full roll of 1938s, which hold the second lowest beaver-nickel mintage!). I recently sold $22 FV of this for 53 1968 50% canadian silver dimes, about $45 in silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 6:23 pm I went around to 3 of the banks in my area to see if I could get 2 rolls of 50c, yeah I know BIG spender , found 0 rolls, $2 at one, $0 at #2, #3 had $4.50 mostly all were road rashed. Wonderful finds, seems it goes that way, at first... Edited by Crazyb0 02/27/2017 6:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RCook Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 02/27/2017 7:04 pm Nice finds, but don't think that's normal. I searched $3K worth last week and found 2 40%. Occasionally there will be boxes that apparently came from a collection dump. In about 2 yrs. 3 mo. of searching I've found 5 monster boxes that held between 20-30 oz. each. Last year I think I searched between $140K-$150K worth of halves and finished the year with just under 155 troy oz. of silver and this was my best year to date. 2015 I probably searched roughly $100K worth and think I ended up with about 90 troy oz for the year. So far this year I've searched $24K in halves and found just slightly over 20 troy oz. Most of those came in January. For the month of February I think I've only found maybe 2-3 troy oz.
