I'v heard of ppl going out and doing coin roll hunting, so I decided I wanted to give it a try. So yesterday I went out to about 5 banks and asked everyone of them if they had and half dollar rolls. Most of them only had a few in there change. So I decided to go to one last bank before I went home, I stopped in and asked if they had any half dollar rolls. They said yes someone just brought in $250 worth, did I want any? I told them I would buy $20 worth, just to see what I find. So they went back and got me 2 rolls, I went outside opened them up and right away I find 1 or 2 1964 Kennedy Halfs 
, so I go back in and buy every roll that they have. And I also picked up 6 1964 and older quaters that they had sitting in there change holders 
. So I went over to my parents house and opened up all the rolls. At the end of that hunt I had 20! 1964 Kennedy halfs, 1 1963 Franklin half and 5 1965-1970 Kennedy halfs! SWEET! 
So today I hit up about 10 more banks and looking for more silver quarters and halfs, just about every bank I went to and asked if they had any real shinny quarters in there change holders, they all said "No we dont have any silver coins, once we get them in, we take them for ourselfs"![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
I did come onto 1 bank that $700 worth of halfs but not one roll had any silver, they where already looked thru
. But I did manage to score 1 more 1964 quarter and 19 more 1965-1970 Halfs, so all in all for 2 days worth of beginners hunting I came out with 20 1964 90% halfs, 7 90% quarters, 24 40% halfs and 1 1963 Frankling 90% silver. I think Im going to be buying a $500 box of halfs and see what I find, I no Im not going to find silver everytime but you never know.

So I decided to try $200 worth of dimes, and ended up with a 1963. So after that I decided I was gonna call the banks an not waste my time driving to them. I did find a bank thats about 30 mins away from me, and they said they can order in a minium of $500 at a time, SCORE! They did tell me I need to have an account and it cost $10 dollars to open it and all I need in it is $10. So Im gonna be heading down to that bank here in the next few days an opening an account, so I can start coin roll hunting in a larger scale.
