A few questions about half dollar hunting

[MoneyBags]

I am about to get my first set of half dollars from the bank I just have a few questions first.

1. Is half dollars in a bag bad to buy from the bank if they are not rolled?

2. I know that 1964 and before are 90% silver, 1965-1970 are 40% are there any specific dates to keep an eye out for?

3. Can I return the coins to the another bank in a bag or do I have to reroll?

4. What are the odds I will or will not find silver in $500 worth of halves.

5. Should I sell the coins on eBay or to a store in my area and if so what type of store?


I'm interested in hearing if you guys found anything on your first hunt and if so what it was. Also any other tips is appreciated!

It stands for "Reading is Fundamental"! As was suggested, it's better to do a lot of reading on the forum. ALL of your questions are answered in previous post.

My neighbor is also Sicilian.

That is not even relevant to racism, just saying.

Well yes, but I'm just sayng that as something related to the topic (Farchaus is Sicilian, so why shouldn't I say that my neighbor is). Do we have to conserve space now? If we do, then why do you write so big?
