  • Marty, that's so incredible I am going all out now.
    It was a big disappointment for me this weekend. $200
    in half rolls and absolutely nothing. I had eight 1974-D's
    and looked carefully for the DDO though. Great take. Keep
    posting your results. I have not given up by a long shot.

    Charlie,
    Be prepaired to spend $200-$1000 on the bag. Most bank counters keep track of how much is in the bag. They will go and look and say $742.50 is in the bag. Have the cash ready. Then when your done take the change back to a different bank (the one you never check fo silver!). I got a call from one of my tellers that a bunch of silver just came in. A coffee can's worth. I'm on my way out...

    What city do you live in, if you don't mind me asking?
  • what bank has enough halfs to just have them laying on a counting machine? Most banks have at least one teller who knows a thing or two about coin collecting and grab up all the good coins.
