I normally hit up my bank drive through for some Kennedy halves. I hope for a some silver - '64 from time to time and some 40% halves. Today all they had was $11 worth, so I bought it all. I was pretty shocked to find these two mixed in with the JFKs!

How do you go about doing that? What do you say to get them? I REALLY want to find more coins, but I don't really know how to?

Don't go in with the guns blazing. Just ask for some halfs.

SWEET! Glad someone can find something. I have been thru $200 in halves and 5 boxes of cents in the last 2 months and all I have to show for it is 14 common date wheats.

Well it helps that I am a business owner and make frequent trips to the bank for deposit purposes. Today as an afterthought, right before I left, I asked the teller if they had any halves. Half the time they don't have any at all. Other times they may have about $8 to $10 worth and they are all from the 90s and newer. There have been three times where I came away with a '64 and a couple late 60s. I've heard of other people scoring silver like this at their bank but I always pictured it happening at small banks in the middle of nowhere. I bank at a major facility in a very large urban area. Maybe they came from a little old lady's jar, or something.

I am in what most people would call a backwoods area, I know for certain of 11 different people, and unknown others, scouring the local banks within 20 miles for halves and dimes to search for silver. I dont know about cents/nickels. I think all the coins in my bank get searched lol.
