...possibly by one of you! ARG! :lol: Spent 4 hrs at the beach today and only found some trash and clad, so I decided to stop by the bank and get a roll of halfs to sort through. The lady gives it over and it's hand rolled (not that plastic machine stuff), so I'm thinking promising. I open it up and get going, 1974, 1974, 1973, 1988, 1976, 1976, 1971, 1971, 1971, 1971, 1971 and so on etc. Half the roll was 1971-1976 and only one that was newer than 1992. I suspect someone out there... nearby... has undermined my first effort at coin roll hunting and threw me their throw backs! :mad: Oh, well better luck next time and I'm keeping the bicentennials just for kicks anyway! Happy hunting all!
 
I went through over $2k in halves once - no luck...Never had any luck at the bank getting anything good. Banks here tell me they sniff out of the silver before customers can.

I did get a 64 rosie in change at McDeath last month though. :D

At least you had fun CR hunting and that will get you hooked when you do find some oldies! Keep at it!
 
Some good finds are made, but it can take a while. I'm still waiting for a Franklin, Walker, or if the planets align, a Barber. Good luck.
 
Don't hate, but I went through my first 300 dollars worth of halves cause that's all the bank had and got skunked. I was upset, and figured I would go back in a couple days when they got a shipment of halves in and get a whole box. This was a couple months ago by the way. Anyways, I go get my first box of halves, and guess what? I found 700 dollars worth of silver half dollars! Silver in almost every roll. Some had four in one roll!

I won't outright hate, but I will be jealous... :lol: Great finds! Man, guess it's time to convert my savings account to half dollars!
