Well I just completely struckout. I just got done going thru $1000 in half dollars, not 1 single silver 40% or 90%.
I am done with the large boxes, I will still check with my local banks to see if any lil old ladies brought in 3 rolls, but no more boxes for me.
Bigtime bummer.

My father did 4 boxes this week (he's retired). Got only 3 - 40%.
Last year getting 25-35 in a box was common - not anymore.
My father did hit one box a while back with over 250 in it.
<< <i>Rob, you must have went thru the box I turned in a few weeks ago.
Hey that is 1 40% silver in the last $2,350.00 in halves. I am bigtime dissapointed.
1-1967
2-1968
I had my girlfriend get 1 roll from her bank and it had
1-1941 WLH
1-1966
She's hooked! I'm ---------------->

They were searched back at $6 silver, much less $12.
I just finished a $500 box and found
1 1964
2 1968
And 1 George Washington $1 stuck in the middle of a roll.
You never know what you will find.

<< <i>I did 500 worth a few days ago and got 8 kennedy's and 1 franklin. Not to bad but was expecting more
I actually think that's pretty good!
<< <i>Which years contain silver and what % for that year? Sorry for lacking this information. >>
Currently worth approx $1.85
You can always look up the current melt values for silver here: Coinflation website.
Rob
What year/series halves contain silver and what is the % for that year? What do I want to keep if I find?
1964 and earlier are 90%
1965-1970 are 40 %
You may want to check for several other things as well:
Proofs
1974-D DDO The doubling is strongest in the "RUS" of TRUST
1987 P&D were not issued for circulation
2002-Present were not issued for circulation
Hope this helps!

Were they machine-rolled in the white and yellow wrappers? I've found those to be pretty lean.
Tom:
Thanks for mentioning that the 2002 to present weren't issued for circulation. I didn't know that, but I had noticed that I don't see many of them. In addition to 87 P&D, I've found very nice 02, 03-D, 04 P&D, and 05-D in some rolls I searched last spring.
Don't give up! Christmas season is coming, and I suspect it was the Christmas cash-in that brought me these on January 13, 2007:
I have no idea what caused the same bank to then have these on hand on June 13, 2007:
But I'm sure there's still some enjoyable roll searching to be had throughout the country.
