After first calling, I stopped at my most productive bank yesterday (in a neighborhood said to be the ARM-PIT of the city) expecting to buy halves. But the teller that had them had locked them in the vault, and could not get to them at that time.
So I visited a different bank directly across the street – I do not have an account with this bank. The girl had three rolls, but I had only $28 cash! So I bought only two of the rolls. After leaving the bank, I looked at the coins. Both rolls contained silver coins. So I went back into the bank and traded a roll of clad for the third roll. As I had expected – MORE SILVER!
I think I drew attention from just being in that bank/neighborhood. I know I got a strange look when I asked about halves. And I especially got a strange look when I went back in to exchange rolls. But I also got 19 more silver halves. Only one was a 1964, the other eighteen were 40% coins. I now have found 240 Silver Halves.
