Have you got out your local phone book and started calling banks? Beats burning up a tank full of gas.

Yeah, just go down the list asking everyone if any of the tellers have and halves or if any are in the vault. If they have any tell them that you will be by later that day to pick them up.

My experience is that if you call a bank asking for halfs they say no. That is if they have ever had a CRHer they would say no.

100 mile radius!? thats dedication

If the calling thing doesn't work out for you....maybe you could ask your bank to order a box for you.....usually takes about a week to come in depending on what day you order it. Wish you all the luck.

True, and if you have an account, you don't have to pay for anything up front, just ask them to order it for you. They will put a note on it saying it's for you. I just ordered my first box yesterday. I think it's the only shot I really have at finding silver in my town. One of the tellers told me she couldn't believe how many people came in, buying all the halves and other rolled coin.

I tried that but the banks said they dont order them anymore.Even my regular bank says no.I thought of using the phone,but I feel a face to face may work better,but considering gas prices I should call.I work in the Bronx so Connecticut isnt too far nor is Upstate and Pa would push the outer limit.Enough of my ramblings...Thanks all!!
