I went to a few banks in my area today (the ones that were open) and did the usual

"do you have any Kennedy halves?"

I ended up finally finding a bank with 69 dollars worth, so I bought them of course.

I got home and the first 2 rolls worth were dead and some had collector marks on them, so I felt a little discouraged.

I opened up one of the last rolls and there, staring me in the face was a 68. I tore the roll open and was amazed to see that it was ALL SILVER. no Franklins or Walkers, but I did end up with

20- 40%
1-90%

I'd say thats a good day.
;D ;D ;D ;D

Over 15% "keeper rate". Very nice.

Wouldn't you like to have those percentages when you get a full box ?

Nice going on a great roll find! I would change my question though from "Do you have any Kennedy halves?" to just "Do you have any half dollars?" Hate to think they kept a whole roll of Franklins just because your request was specific!

Sliding a roll of silvers into your hand.... Is that a great feeling or what? Only wished it happened more often.

Congratulations!

Someone out there rolled up all there coins including the silver and grabbed the wrong roll to take back to the bank!!! :'(

Well, I never reroll my keepers, just for that reason. If I ever return a whole roll of silver, I would probably have to rob the bank.
