I guess I'd rather get quality halves from the bank than large quantities of clad ones!!
I stopped at a bank yesterday afternoon after attending a meeting for work in a different town. The teller at the drive-in window told my teller that she had one roll of halves. Then she found 2 loose ones.
So, I hand over $11 and she hands me the roll and then hands me the two loose ones and I immediately see that one of the loose halves is a 1967 40% silver. I'm happy as a clam and feel that the whole stop and interaction was worthwhile just for that one 1967!!
So, I get home and show the wife and she is very happy about it too. I head down to the basement (where I keep all my coin stuff) and proceed to open the roll. I see the first halve in the roll is another 1967 - I can't believe it. I dump the contents and look at the sides of the coins - more than half of them halves look silver!!!
So here is what was in the roll:
1976 - 1
1971 - 1
1966 - 5
1967 - 10
1968D - 2
1969D - 1
Can you believe there were only two clad coins in that roll - so out of 22 halves - There were 3 clad coins and the other 19 were 40% silver.
What a great day!!! I wish this was one of those banks that had more rolls than I had money on me, because I would be back there tomorrow with cash!!!!
