Well I literally did not sleep last night, I was on this website reading through 32 pages of threads! This hobby really struck me as something that could be a blast. I have always been interested in coins and bills that are different, and big coins that you don't get to see often. Well after reading all night, I decided today I would go around to the banks around me and see what halves they had.
Bank 1 only had a few in the draw - nothing
Bank 2 had a couple dollars - nothing
Bank 3 had 3 rolls that I bought - again nothing.
I read enough of the threads to know silver takes time, and not to be disappointed. I was a little discouraged to find out that if I wanted to start this hobby, I was going to have to invest $500 because no banks here just carry halves.
I went to one other bank around me was told they didn't have any, but that their other branch (10 miles away) has boxes of them. I had a feeling this was going to be someones dump spot but I thought I might as well check it out. Drove to the branch and was able to get 10 rolls from them.
Well I did pretty good on the last roll of the bunch! Just so you know I did keep one half from each year because I want a date range collection.
This is the lot of them...
These are the ones I pulled for my personal collection...
I got these in my hunt, these are worth FV but I think they are awesome!
Now to the stuff that stood out...
2007, 2012, and the other 2012 are just interesting to me.
1967, and 1967 40% halves, and a weird 2009 silver looking half.
Any idea on these one? It stands out from the other clad but the edge is not silver.
