Well I've just recently had my interests peeked in coin collecting, and after perusing a few message boards I've noticed that people have had some success finding desirable coins by purchasing large quantities at banks.
With that said, i recently picked up a $500 bag of half-dollars at my local bank and here are my findings:
Kennedys
1964 - 12
1965 - 2
1966 - 1
1967 - 16
1968 - 5
1969 - 5
Franklins
1954 - 1
1957 - 1
1961 - 1
1963 - 1
I also came across a few coins that looked like they were "frosted" but I'm not sure if that is any significance or not.
Please enjoy the pictures!

What is that, about a $180 profit in bullion alone?
P.S. Which bank did you use?

1981 is D mint mark. I didn't see a mint mark for the 1974.

can't explain why they seem frosted.
perhaps someone spraypainted them.

<< <i>Dang... I was going to post my story of a $ 500 "bag" I got by luck today that was at the bank for 3-4 years... Had about $ 130 worth of silver in it... Congrats on your haul, wow... makes mine look whimpy... >>
Isn't that about 2 or 3 times what the OP found - in number of coins? Sounds like a better haul to me.
<< <i>I wish you half dollar roll searchers would let us know the NEWEST kennedy half dollars you are finding. That would be interesting. >>
I found an AU/MS 2009 late last year.
