Good finds for the day! Ill piggyback my finds on your topic if thats ok. I went to the bank during lunch today, first bank had 3 dollars in halves....and 4 of those were silver!!! Second bank had 0 halves, as did Walmarts bank, and the last bank had 40$. I took 30 of it and found 2 more silver halves. Total is:

1959 - 1 A franklin!!! The teller looked at it funny as she gave it to me. I think she considered holding on to it.
1966 - 1
1967 - 3
1968D - 1

Good luck!

Wow, not bad on that Franklin! It's amazing that tellers don't know to look for silver in their loose change, especially when they only had 6 and 4 were silver. Very nice odds there! You should try to get every half from every bank you visit. You never know when a roll could be all silver, and that could be the roll they leave in the vault and don't give you.

Yeah I know the creed "Never leave a half unbought" but I ran out of cash. I have no local bank around here. Im thinking of just getting a Bank of America account to have more nationwide access, or at least around here. Ill be going back tomorrow to get that roll hopefully!
