I went to the bank yesterday to get some quarter rolls and decided to ask if they had any halves available. The teller said yes, so instead of 5 rolls of quarters, I took home 5 rolls of customer rolled halves.

I didn't bother to look at the ends until I got home. Wow! Two rolls had a Benjamin ender! From the 5 rolls I found 5 Benjamin's (1952D, 1950D, 1963D (2) and a 1963D. For the Kennedy's I found a nice 1968D, a 1969D and a 1983-S Proof Kennedy. Nice haul.

I'm heading back to that branch today to see if they have any additional rolls (and I'll be doing my best to buy all of them)

$220 in assorted rolls contained nothing of interest, except for a single 2021-D. Anybody know if these are scarce, or are they turning up in large numbers, like the 2017-D and 2018-D coins?

In Boston yesterday. Went into a bank and asked if they had any Half Dollars. The teller said she had $28 worth. Bought the lot but no silver. However a few clad upgrades to my collection so not a total waste of time!

$40 worth of assorted halves from a local bank included 4 silver-clads plus a 2005-P NIFC half. I didn't keep the 2017-D, 2018-D, and 2020-D coins I found since they apparently aren't scarce at all.

Not a lot of silver, but far better than nothing!

I occasionally still check for halves but haven't seen any silver for many months. A $240 buy of rolls at a local Wells Fargo did yield 17 silver-clad halves dating 1966-1969D. I'd love to post more frequently but I'll have to find more silver first. Happy to have found these, at least.
