Went to bank and got $80 in dimes and $20 in nickels. When I then asked for halves, they had $13 loose in the teller tray and $3.50 were 40% silver:
1967 x2
1968D x4
1969D

First silver halves I have found since July when I found one 1967 40%. Halves have been few and far between this year to even search through (I do not search boxes).
Only managed to search through $265 in total, and of that, $155 were from teller trays. Teller trays are where I have found all my silver halves this year (15 40% and 1 1964 90%).

They also had a big "dollar" coin and sold that to me. Wasn't your typical dollar as it was the 1987 1oz silver bullion "$1" coin. I never thought I would find one of these.

The dime rolls had 1 1954 silver FDR and the nickels had nothing.

Thanks for looking

Wow. So somebody actually spent a 1 oz silver bullion coin at face value? Crazy. Nice recovery!

Yeah I thought the same thing (and same with bank teller giving it to me). Worse, it says 1oz fine silver right next to the denomination on the back (unlike regular silver coins).
