So I bought an $878 bag of halves today, can someone help?

[JJTheisen]

So as I have said before, I work at a bank full-time. I called down to our other branch today to see how many halvse they had. They told me the change machine had a bag with $878 in it, so i said i would come get them and buy them on my lunch break. After 35 min of me and my friend searching the coins, we cam out with 47 40%, 8 90%, and 3 2005 halves. I keep going to pcgs to try and figure out the troy ounce calculations, but i guess its just not making sense to me. Can someone give me an easy equation for finding out how many ounces of silver I have found. I figured out there are 480 grains to a troy ounce. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate the help I have already been given! Thanks guys.

First of all, read through the very first post on this forum (BEGINNERS GUIDE TO COIN ROLL HUNTING!!! + TERMS) It was specifically created for newbies like you.

Lastly, to answer your question, it takes approx 7 40% halves to make a one troy oz and it takes 3 90% halves.

Appreciate it! I was curious though, the reason I kept the 2005 halves today is because you posted they were not meant for curculation. What is the worth on them since they are basically mint? Thanks for that beginners post, I have read it, I guess I missed the troy ounce portion.

coinflation.com works well also. You can use the melt value calculator near the bottom of the page...

According to coinflation.com, the 2005 has a metal value of approx. 6 cents.
Although you may be able to trade them for $.50, lol!

I dumped about $250 worth of 2005's back into the wild a while back....keep looking and you might get that box!

I use coinflation.com coin calculator. It's great! You type in the number of coins you have and pick the type of coin and voila! You have current value based on that day's silver value
