This won't help, but loose and rolled halves are 'reasonably' available out west. I'd estimate that 80% of the many bank branches in my general area have some halves--ranging from 10-15 loose coins to several rolls each. The halves that I've come across in my area are picked over--very picked over. In all my years of searching, I've found very little silver halves through roll hunting, perhaps six total. A few more have shown up in teller trays. I have come across a few nice not-intended-for-circulation Kennedys.
PS -- I'm not an industrial-level hunter, ordering and searching several boxes weekly/monthly.

The odds are you are gonna have to order a box. And, unless you are insanely lucky, going through boxes is about the only way you are gonna find any.

 to CCF Call the area banks and just ask. If you find a location that carry's 50c rolls, you most likely have to open up an account with them in order to get the rolls. |

My credit union has $700.00 in halves that would love to be rid of - except for collectors (who likely have all of the common ones already - nobody wants them. |

fplagge,
you totally missed the point here!
OP is asking where he/she could get these rolls at, nowadays when you go to any bank and ask for rolls of coins the first thing they ask is: Are you the bank's customer? if you are not, you won't get it.

My banks in my area never have rolls and rarely have loose halves but I am not in a big city. I never tried to order but that is above my pay grade.

Have a minimum of at least 50 banks/credit unions on your list, even if it means road trip.
I can visit dozens of banks that I don't have an account with, and have at least a 50% success rate scoring loose halves and rolls.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
