Last Tuesday I picked up 19 rolls of halves while I was at the bank and found 0 keepers. This past Monday I stopped at another branch and got 38 rolls and got skunked again. Today I stopped at another bank and got 20 rolls (all they had) and then went to another branch and got 20 more rolls. After I left the 2nd bank I noticed that the rolls were all machined wrapped and all were 1998-D unc. rolls so I didn't bother opening those. Tonight I start going through the first 20 rolls (hand wrapped) and hit pay dirt! 5 of the rolls had silver and 2 rolls were solid silver! I ended up finding 5 Walkers, 15 Franklins, 8 '64's, and 22 40%. ;D ;D Out of 20 rolls I found 50 keepers! I am pumped! Not bad for a newbie huh? I think I am hooked on CRH!

Thanks guys! The 5 Walkers are a 1936-S, 1937, 1942-D, 1944, and a 1945. The 36-S is black and bent a little. The other coins are all in pretty good shape. I got 40 more rolls this morning and didn't find any keepers. I think they had already been searched as 38 of the rolls were marked.

Great start sneak.Any chance of a 1955 in those Bens, it's a key date.

Thanks! There was no 1955 but out of 15 Bens I got 12 different date/mintmarks.
