Went to my local Us Bank where we do alot of banking. I picked up 5 rolls of half-dollars and got skunked on em all. Now they seemed to me to be machine wrapped bc they were yellow and tightly wrapped. Im not sure if i should be asking for hand wrapped rolls or not. I can spend whatever amount i want on them its not big deal, but do i bring them back to the same bank or do i go to a different bank and then go back to that same one and get more? Tell me your secrets so that i may too have some fun and find silver :)

First you should read the beginners guide.

The simple advice i will give you is
NEVER bring your coins back to a bank you pick up coins.
Always buy all the halves you can - eventually you will learn whats what
Dont brag to the unkowing to what you are doing. Each person you teach means less silver 4 u

I have about 5 banks at my hometown. Do i need accounts at all of them in order to buy and resell halfs back? I have read the beginners guide like 5 times. Just wondering some other things.

You probably won't need an account to buy coins (unless you want to start ordering boxes), but you probably will need an account to cash them in. What I would do is use the same bank to cash in everytime and buy from the other 4. That way you don't buy your own rejects back.

Actually, that could happen, and has happened to members on this forum. Or they might want to start charging you a fee to cash in your coin...that has happened too. Or you may have no problems whatsoever. You'll just have to try it and see what happens.

Try to find a coinstar machine that gives cards for Lowes or stores you use.There is no fee for the cards taken out,and you know you won't see the coins for a long time!
