Hey guys, just wanted to show what all us hound dogs look for in searching through rolls of half dollars. This picture, makes our hearts quiver. Lol
This is what is called a, "Sammie". Two silver half dollars with clad half dollars in between them, a Sammie. (Sandwich) ;)

    Nice find! And it's in a customer wrapped roll. To me, those are either the worst rolls I've hunted or the best.

    Silver half dollars are a great roll find.... When I used to search rolls of halves, I only found one...and that was a WLH... Got frustrated after a while and gave up the search. Cheers, RickO

    Nice find on the 40%!
    Think for a minute about how many more coins you could buy each year if you didn't drink that brand of coffee!

    I still want a bicentennial half dollar... maybe one day

    Actually, my bicentennial pictured, came out of a whole roll of '76d's. One of the rolls were one of these, I chose the best one and threw the rest back. ;)

    I bet you'll get at least one if you can get a roll of halves from the bank. They are extremely common.

    Probably two or three in any given roll.

    So I was motivated to actually check. I had a box of $400 in halves sitting here so I did a quick run through to see how many bicentennials were in there.
    Out of the 800 coins, 130 of them were bicentennial, or 16.25%.
    So, based on my very small sample size, on average you should expect 3.25 bicentennial halves per roll.

    Yep, like I mentioned, how 'bout 20 in one roll? :D
