Son is out sick from school. After going to the doctor we swung by the local credit union and bought a couple of rolls of quarters to sort through over lunch. Surprisingly they didn't have any rolls of halves.
My boy nabbed an Arkansas Parks quarter for his collection.
We found 1 bicentennial quarter, in pretty rough shape. The oldest one we found was a 1965.
These made it to the coin folders:
Women:
2023 P B. Coleman quarter
States:
2006 P Nebraska, off-center
2006 P South Dakota
2004 D Florida
2007 P Idaho
2002 D Tennessee
2004 P Michigan - Reverse slightly off-center + coin roll scratch
2002 D Mississippi
2006 P North Dakota
2007 P Wyoming
We have a big stack of parks to go through, but my daughter gets a crack at them before I sift them. :)
Did you guys do any good today?
Did you ever have a bank tell you they didn't have any halves?

I found a really nice well made 1977 the other day in XF. It wasn't even in a roll search just pocket change.
It's the nicest old quarter I've seen in over a year.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Yes, in the past I've had bank branches say they have no halves--loose or rolled.

I've just been in Galveston, TX. I got rolls of quarters from Frost Bank but they only had a handful of half dollars and small dollar coins - no rolls. The Bank of Texas said they had halves but would only let people with an account there take them. I didn't have the courage to go into the 'Moody Bank' - I was worried the clerk would say "Yes, we've got some half-dollars, but I don't feel like letting you have any today!"  |

Unfortunately it is very common for banks and CU not to have half dollars.

Yep, halves are hit or miss. Rare to find any that haven't already been searched, and searched again.

Good idea to learn how to grade if you're going to collect coins!  |

One of my bank branches is very friendly when I ask for rolls for my son. We sort through about a roll a week. The 2009s seem rare where we are.

My bank here in Maine will order boxes of halves for me. Although I have to admit that the silver record is poor, 1 or 2 per box. Heck, it's silver though. My fave teller tells me that my balance with them is a factor. (I understand there is a cost to them for this service).

When you learn about grading, make sure you also understand that the grading companies themselves use no verifiable standards to grade coins. So if you broke out a slabbed coin and sent it back to the company that originally slabbed it, you can get an entirely different grade on it. They keep grading all subjective and this way people repay them to grade the same con hoping for a better grade. So the best a collector can hope for is to get a fuzzy notion of what a company may put onto a slab. So don't be discouraged if you do not guess correctly at what you see on a slab. In fact if you will watch even the most experienced dealers getting back graded orders of multiple coins, none of them will ever NOT be surprised by what the graders put on their slabs.
Since they use no real universal and scientific standards, you cannot be discouraged when you don't guess what they put on a slab.
