Barber half found in $400 rolls marked "CRH"

Hi y'all I'm new to this forum and thought I'd post my surprising find from yesterday. I used to search rolls back about 1980, then started back up recently.
Went to about 7 banks and obtained about $700 in rolls and loose (halves). The first $400 rolls I noticed were marked "crh"---bummer---till I quick scanned the side of a roll and noticed a worn silver colored band...out pops a very worn 188? Barber half...I couldn't believe my eyes...(sorry I don't have any pics). That's all that I found in that $400, well, they were marked "crh". In the rest of the coin i found 11 40%, and 1 proof 2005.
Started in mid January searching halves and have gone thru approx $2k in loose and rolls, my total is...
66x40%
3x90% (64)
1 Barber
1 proof (2005)

My wife works at a CU and couldn't care less about collecting...usually one or two of the tellers will hold any special coins they see for me...one girl told me that recently an elderly customer came in and cashed out 20+silver morgans...she now has them in safe keeping...

If its an 1880's it cant be a barber half. The only started making barbers after 1891.

Good point, Barbers were from 1892 to 1915, Seated Liberty varieties from 1839 to 1891. If it is a Seated from the 1880s, those were very low mintages. A pic would be helpful.
