  1. Finding U.S silver halves up north

    What are the chances...to find U.S silver halves in Canada?
  2. Satin finish vs Proof "mirror" finish?

    Newbie question, here -- I'm learning about half dollars. I need to understand the difference between recognizing a "satin finish" on the 2005-2010 Denver half dollars vs recognizing a "proof mirror-like finish". Any guidance from the experienced CRH-ers? Thanks!
  3. New User here, Just hit the ultimate jackpot! You guys have to check this out!

    So, long story short, I haven't done any roll hunting for a few years due to employment circumstances. However, I now have an income so today when I stopped by the bank to make a withdrawal I thought to myself: maybe I should see if they have any half dollars. The teller told me that she had 3...

  5. Any display/storage ideas for halves?

    Hi everyone! I've been CRH for a few years and lurking on the forums for a while but this is my first post. Does anyone have a creative way to store or display your (silver) half dollars? I've been storing them in old jars etc, but I want to display them and enjoy watching them as they...

  8. Jackpot VII: Yes Really, Again! (combined with my weekly finds with pics)!

    Well, it has only been one day, and I hit a major score today at one bank. I ended up searching 5 half dollar boxes, and went to banks for CWRs, and one of the banks I stop at every month or so on my route had 8.00 in halves. I heard all of them make a clean silver clink on the table, and saw...

  10. Dont Cry Over Spilled Halves!!

    Don't Cry Over Spilled Halves!! I was so disappointed when I dumped my coins last week and filled up the half bag. They placed it on the counter in front of me and turned back to the counter. I watched as the bag tipped over and spilled onto the floor behind the counter. I couldn't see well...

The third I found a 1943 walking liberty Benjamin Franklin half and 1 40$ out of two rolls. The fourth I found 3 40%s out some loose coins. And the last...
  13. First time CRH...

    So I caught the silver bug a month or so ago, and ordered some silver bullion online, thinking that would take care of the bug. I was wrong. I have been looking at ways to find silver without paying spot for it and I came across this wonderful website. Since I am a noob to this, any...
  14. One Sweet Day: 1 half box, 1 nice score, 1 cup + Stamp on the box means nothing!

    No cups actually...but since you clicked... Had a really great box today. The banks only had one box for me. This box had the same 4 digit code as my last 6 boxes from this bank from last week, which only gave up 4 40%ers and 1 90% ben (every other box was a skunk). I had no expectation of...

  18. Weekly for Weaselbrott (7 boxes of halves, 1 boxes of dimes, and $800 cwr)

    I had a very disappointing week for halves indeed. Out of 7 boxes of halves and about 300 in [skunk] customer wrapped halves, I only got 2 90%ers, and 3 40%ers for the whole week. Some stampless and some 4-digit stamped string&son boxes. Out of 1 box of dimes and about $500 in customer wrapped...
  19. Stampless yellow half box gave me 2x 1964s!

    I just got a yellow H.F. String & Son box from the usual bank, but I noticed there was no stamp on the box at all. In it, I found two 1964s and nothing else. This is the first time I have found two 64s in one box, but also without any accommodating 40%ers either. What is up with that? I have...
