I will search rolls of half dollars from time to time. My focus is on silver content as you may imagine. I searched a few rolls today and I did not find any silver but you can't be a winner every time I guess. BUT, I did find something I have not imagined ever finding....heck, a few 'somethings' were found. 
I just updated with crappy iPhone Pics...the white reflection in the lower left quarter of the coin is my iPhone...I have a white Otter Box Case.
Really crappy photos...you are just going to have to trust me that they are pretty darn nice proofs.
1979-S PROOF (Common Filled S)
1980-S PROOF
1981-S PROOF (Common Filled S)
1982-S PROOF
1983-S PROOF
1984-S PROOF
1987-S PROOF
1991-S PROOF (Good One To Find)
All are at least CAM. I would not go so far as to call these PF67s or better...but heck, they're PROOFS! Amazing!
Has anyone else found a pile of proofs when searching? And what did you find?

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

<< <i>The best find I've ever had for proofs was 5 1957 Franklins in a box of halves. I don't know why but compared to all other denominations, proof halves are everywhere in bank rolls. I think I've pulled close to 3 rolls worth, though most are beat up and not as pristine as you describe. >>
What exactly is a "box of Halves"...is that a box of rolls from the bank...like $250 worth or something? Do you just go to the teller and ask if they have a "Box of Halves"? Thanks much!
He who knows he has enough is rich.

A box of halves is $500. Banks generally don't have boxes of halves lying around as there is no demand for them, but if you call up a few banks, I'm sure one or two of them might be able to order them from the Fed provided that you have an account with them.
I did pull out a 1997 s silver proof half once, & it was a nice DCAM after a dip.

There'll be 68's, 69's, 71's, 72's and a sprinking of 67's.

You're turning 40%ers loose?
I'll be ordering boxes in that case

They're cheaper to spend than to sell.

If you're looking to get rid of the 40%ers I'll buy them at face plus I'll pay shipping cost
