I found $400 in hand wrapped halves today at a local bank. I ended up with 1 1964 and 13 40% for a 1.75% keeper rate. That is approximately 2.25 troy ounces of silver for $7.00. Not a bad day.

1 of my 4 boxes had a 16% keeper rate.

Whoops, silly me. That's what I get for guessing before it was done. I still had 12 rools to go. Make that 27.5% plus a 1980 proof. And I still have 2 rolls showing silver on each end to show my brother when he gets down here in a week. Still short of a 35% box a month ago.

I keep all the 87 P&D's also. HH Mark

Awhitster,

That is quite a silver vein in a Fed box!!!

Not sure what a Fed box is. I don't think there is one unless you get boxes straight from the Federal Reserve. Mine are re -rolled from an armored car company. I think everyone else's are too.

Answer a few questions....

87's... 1987 P&Ds were not sent out for circulation, only sent out in mint sets so keep the ones you find. Same with the 2002's and newer. According to the Red book, the 2001P's were also not released but I seem to find quite a few of those... I have yet to find an 87 or a 70.

Fed boxes... the flat boxes with 50 rolls in white and yellow wrappers are the fed boxes that banks order from the federal reserve.

"S" mint... these are the Proofs out of SanFransisco mint. There somewhat easy to spot because they are minted witha greater detail and the kennedy head and eagle on the back have a more satin finish with the background in a higher shine than circulated. Proofs are uncirculated but uncirculateds are not all proofs.

This is what a bank told you? Or just speculation?

My bank orders from the main branch downtown and they get them from the fed downtown.
