That's like asking everyone what they think of art. Sorry, but we could all give you our averages and it wouldn't matter in the least. Some have had skunks only once in a while and others have gone 45 boxes straight. It is all just the luck of the draw. Hope you find alot.

Yes, I agree. Averages really do not apply to Halves. Simply the luck of the draw.

I will say this If you want to talk averages.

I average more silver when I search Halves.

My feeling is that the 1/2 dollar coin does not circulate so the majority of the ones that do eventually get turned in at a bank will contain Silver because it is an accumulation that has been hoarded for many years.

I think you could ask just about anyone and they would tell you that if they kept any coins at all since childhood it most likely would be a Half dollar coin.

My Opinion.

I find silver dimes more than I find silver half's. Meaning I consistently find 2 or 3 silver dimes per box, while I usually get skunked while doing half's and every once in a while I will get a half box with 10 - 25 or so silver. Like they said above, its the luck of the draw. :thumbsup:
