Yeah, Someone got one at a bank from a teller but never in a roll. At least not since I have been here. We had a thread a few months ago about the likleyhood of finding one in a roll. I conducted a little experament with one of my Capped Bust halves trying to fit it in a hand roll. I concluded that it was deffinately possible to fit one in a hand roll but that it was a very tight fit and the coin will most likely not lie completely flat in the roll. The Capped Bust as you probably know is a slightly larger size than the modern half dollar. I believe that it would be near impossible to find one in a machine wrapped roll because they are so tight and most sorting machines would not allow it through. If people can on rare occassions find gold coins or seated half dollars the it is entirely possible to find a Capped Bust. It is just a matter of time.

Yes - a teller handed me one at face. I was a bit shocked. Since then I have had tellers hand me a few Morgans and Peace dollars and a 3 cent piece. Here are photos of the Capped Bust. Too bad it was drilled but I still like it!

This is only true for some counters. Keep in mind that the Irish Punt is larger than your standard half, and yet we get those in rolls.
