first off hello! i have been lurking for a while and finally joined. I really enjoy a lot of your posts, and have learned a lot from some of you. My question is does marking half dollars really matter? maybe it depends on what bank you are using but i have noticed the more marked half dollars i get in a case the more silver i find. My bank sends all there half dollars they receive to a main branch and they get thrown into a coin roll machine and re packaged. Im guessing all the halves they get customer rolled or coin roll hunter dumps just get thrown into the mix together. I got 2 cases last week and in almost every roll at least 1 half had 2 small black marker lines on one side. I could even see them on most of the ends. It was discouraging until three rolls in silver! I managed 14 40% and one really worn walker. This is not the first time though i have had many cases where most coins are marked and i manage a nice silver take. I ask because maybe it is a waist of time to mark coins? I know im not doing it anymore.
