Congrats on a nice find. Were they customer wrapped rolls (cwr) or machine wrapped rolls (mwr)? I'm guessing they were cwr. Check the back of the 66 to see if they have the designer's initials (FG). If they're missing the FG than they would be a error coin. Also weigh the 65s as some of them were minted on 90 blanks instead of 40% which also makes them a error coin. A 40% coin will weigh 11.5 grams while a 90% coin weighs 12.5 grams & a clad half will weigh 11.3 grams. The key date for the 40% (65-70) is 1970. Also 7 40% halves weigh just over 1 ounce so you have between 7 & 8 ounces of silver not 9.5 ounces. It still is a great find.STACK'EM HIGH!!!!
Finally made a decent score. Got $100 in halves from one bank this am. There were 50 part silver halves in the 10 rolls! Stopped at another bank on the way home and scored another 15 part silver halves out of 16 rolls. Just over 9.5 ounces on a Saturday morning....

I was weighing up some of my 40% to see what I would get with a good scale, $100 Cabelas reloading scale.
I got 40%'s that ranged from 11.1 to 11.75 grams, out of 30 coins most were about 11.35-11.45 but many heavier and about 6 lighter, including the 1967 that was 11.1
... Also 7 40% halves weigh just over 1 ounce so you have between 7 & 8 ounces of silver not 9.5 ounces. It still is a great find.
