I had one of my best hunts this year today. I had a few things to do in town, so I stopped by the downtown banks while I was at it. 3 out of the 5 banks I stopped at had no half dollars. One bank had $11.50 worth, so I took those and got 1 40% out of it. The other bank had $70 in rolled halves. I figured they were someone's dumps because one of the rolls had writing on it, but turns out they weren't. One of the rolls was a solid roll of 40%ers. Out of the other 6 rolls, I got 2 90% kens and 3 more 40%ers.
I'm glad I stopped at some banks, I've spent a lot of my time hitting garage sales since the halves have slowed down in my area. It's good to take a break now and then. It makes me want to hit the roll hunting harder again, I think think I'll give dimes a try this week too.

total take 24 40% and 2 90%.

this puts me over 100 silver halves this year. Total silver halves are at 109 (27 being 90%), total silver coins at 127. I know it's not a lot compared to the big dogs on here, but I'm happy with it.

very nice score!!! I remember my first solid roll of 40%, 1969d... very nice and the bank had been productive after that for about 6 months with a few silver halves here and there. Then new teller came in and now there are *no halves* >:( There are no halves in my area, the only ones I get are from boxes which I have to order making road trips worthless. HH!

I know how that goes buffaloboy, when it dries up I take a break for a week or two, sometimes longer. People are eventually going to dump off customer rolls though, so I always go back. I've found solid 40%rolls before, found a few last year. Always a great feeling.

Hey Timbobwey! Rileyboy here!
Great score on that solid roll of silver. They are few and far between, but it's still out there for the finding.
Congrats.
