I've been collecting coins for the past 20 years, but never realized there was still silver to be had in circulation. I'm from Europe and have only been here for 6 years. Our Dutch guilder was replaced with that awful euro quite a while ago so there's no point looking. After stumbling upon CRH while searching for some info on older half dollars I had, I wanted to give it a shot (I have nothing better to do 
).
My personal bank (Chase) was awesome... they ordered 3 boxes of dimes and 2 half dollars no question asked, called me when they came in, and even helped carry them to my car... every single employee in the bank was happy and courteous. I brought them a box of donuts when picking up the boxes, to get my rapport going for future orders
These are the results:
Half dollar box 1:
2003 D
4x 1987 P
2x 2004 P
Dime box 1:
1x 1961
Dime box 2 and 3:
Skunk
Half dollar box 2:
2001 S
2003 D
2003 P
2005 D
24x 1965-1970 40%
4x Franklin 90%
Needless to say I was very happy with the last box I'm not sure if the 2002+ are worth keeping, but I'll hang on to them for now.
Now I just need to figure out how to dump them, and get more boxes! It sure was a rush finding all that silver, so much fun; I'm having withdrawals already!
I have next week off so I think I'll visit all banks in the area to scout coin counters and pick up whatever halves they have... the four banks I did already visit yielded only skunk halves, 31 Ike dollars and a "you're the first person to ask for these ever" everywhere so I hope the competetion around here is small.
