3 Silvers out of 4 halves

[CJ9]

Went to bank late this afternoon - got some dimes ($85), nickels ($4), and pennies ($5) - all were a complete skunk

Until I asked if they had halves. Teller said that they don't have any rolls but she had $2 worth.

That $2 was well worth it and more than made up for the skunks on everything else

2 1964
1 1967
the other was a 1971 clad

So far in 2019, I've purchased 83 loose halves from tellers (no customer-rolled halves so far) and have been rewarded with 19 silver (all 40%). Imagine that ratio from boxes!

Yeah I am with you. I have gotten a number of halves this year from tellers directly, including about 5 or 6 90%ers (there is a prior post somewhere in here). I don't search boxes because I don't have a machine to dump them so I just can't do the volume of boxes that others on here do to get the silver. Of the handful of boxes I have gotten in the past (going back 15 years) I have always been skunked.

So I stick to CWR and loose halves.

Very nice. In my area, the tellers know about 90% halves, but 40% halves are a good bet.

Chatty tellers are nice with those CWRs and loose halves. My best branch for loose halves told me they come from a nearby liquor store. That is a positive. The vault teller from another bank told me they often have CWRs because "a customer goes through them and brings in lots of rolls after removing the silver..." - so I don't get halves from that bank.

Having posted the good teller finds from earlier in the week, I feel it is only fair to post some skunks.

Went into a Wells Fargo, got $50 in dimes, $6 in nickels, and $4 in cents - all a complete skunk - not even a common date wheat.

Asked for halves - they had $2.50. Maybe my luck from early in week would continue, but the $2.50 was this

5 really skunky halves



Good luck to all

Did she also offer some salt for any open wounds? (would have hurt less...)
