Usually I buy two rolls of halves each month at a local bank when I'm making a payment there. Almost always I'll get the "Brinks" type rolled coins; this time the teller had three hand wrapped rolls - so I figure that they've been picked through already, but buy them all anyhow. :roll:

Couple days later I look at the rolls and notice numbers written on them; "66-67" "67" and "68" - hmmm, now I'm starting to wonder about these "sorted" rolls.

Sure enough, each roll had indeed been "picked through" and "sorted" - three rolls of 40% Kennedy's!!! :shock:

Needless to say, I'll be going back again -
 
Nice! Always buy ‘em! I’ve found a couple dozen solid silver rolls over the years. The tellers aren’t too interested in 40% halves, they want the 90’s...even then, always buy ‘em all. I’ve bought vault hoards of $1k or more, many times. $990 in halves might be dump, but one roll unsearched gives up a solid roll of 90%...and/or everything in between. That’s why I always buy ‘em all.
