so i've been lurking this place for a number of years, never posted until now. all of your posts in this forum inspired me to do some coin roll hunting. today i took a hundred dollar bill to a local bank and grabbed up 10 rolls of half dollars. i managed to pluck out (3) 40%ers, 1968D halfs. not bad i guess. somethin' like a $10 profit on my hundred for 5 minutes of my time. returned the clad to the dump down the street. i was in and out of there, and was impressed by how fast they took the coins and made my deposit. im gonna head out again tomorrow with a couple hundred bucks in my arsenal, as i've got the fever now for sure.
on a side note, ive heard you guys talk about how you can tell the difference between a silver coin and a clad coin. when i finally got some in my hands it was a striking difference... i could easily spot the sides of the coin and how the clad has the two tone copper look, while the silver has more of a solid look. also, the sound. clad seems to be higher pitched and the silver has a deeper tone. easy to distinguish.
anyway, good luck to all of you guys.
