I decided to hit a couple PNC banks today to try a some CRH. I stopped at one and asked if they had any rolls of halves I get get. The lady went to check the vault and came back and said she had $170 worth but they were all marked with an "8" which meant a collector had already gone through them. Is this common knowledge? And what is the significance of the "8"?
 
Actually, you will run into many different marks on rolls of halves. Different searchers have their own 'brand' . Avoid picking these rolls up, because you will just have the trouble of getting rid of them again, without the fun of finding ANY silver first. Also be leary of a large amount of halves all in the same wrappers. Take a test amount first, so you can gauge whether they are someones life long collection, or someone elses dumps. Good Luck finding what you are looking for. : )
