Half Dollar Roll Find

Barcat

I went to the bank and asked if they had any half dollars. They never have anything but this time the teller found one roll. I could not believe it.
10 1964
2 1966
2 1967
3 1968
2 1971 and 1 1976

wow, 17/20 were silver. You need to go buy a Lotto ticket.

Great find. I bought a partial bag ($639.50) of Halves last week and found 54-40%'s and 12-90%'s in there. Best so far.

Nice find! Don't you love it when that happens?


I'm actually in the process of calling around some banks to find some half dollars. I'll post here if I find anything!

Outstanding results... in all the half rolls I have searched, I have never found one of value. Cheers, RickO

Ok, I'm back from my hunting. I only was able to pick up $83 in halves, and I did mediocre. I got 1 1967 an a 1950 Franklin. I am heading out tomorrow morning to a Bank of America to pick up $350 worth, so hopefully I do a bit better with those.

Good luck. I searched $1000 worth a couple weeks back and found 1-1964 & 2-1968's
I was a bit dissapointed, but it was pretty exciting seeing the silver edge among all the clads.
I ordered another box and it should be in next week. Hopefully I will do a little better.

I've had extremely good luck lately. Two weeks ago, I bought $560 in rolls (all they had) from my bank. Found 124 1964 Kennedys, 1 1961 Franklin, and 5 1965 Kennedys (all within 7 rolls- the remaining 49 had nothing). All in all, around 46 ounces of silver. Yesterday, I stopped by the same bank to see if they had received any more. They only had 2- and both were wrapped in newer wrappers. Figured I'd get them anyway, and one roll was straight 1964 BU Kennedys. The other was typical worn clad.

I've ordered coins in the past, but haven't had much luck (typically 1 40% per $500 box). The real finds are in rolls people turn in to banks. I've had no luck at all in dimes or quarters, save for 1 1964 dime.
I think with the economic downturn, people are turning coins in at a high rate, many people not knowing what they have. Probably also helps that I live within 5 miles of a retirement community.
