Minimum Purchase to Find Silver

[MIhunter]

What is the least amount of half dollars that you bought and found silver?

In rolls: 3 rolls
My first stab at coin roll hunting, I walk in and bought 3 rolls and found 1 walker and 3 40%ers. I have been addicted since.

Loose: 4 halves
Bank didnt have any half except 4 loose halves. 2 were 40%ers

bank had one half, i said what the heck and it ended up being a 1965. also, a teller had 2 halves in her tray, and one was a franklin. Keep it up and hh! [R.I.P. Rich Hartford]

1 CWR roll on rolls - 1 40% - a walker and and a ben.

A $10 roll. About 15 years ago I picked up a roll that had 5 64's and one Franklin. I think it had some 40%'s, but my opinion at the time was that they weren't worth collecting, so I sold them as soon as I got them.

I recently had a bank that only had 1 half. It was a 40%er

 

[Gilmore Happy]

Within the last 30 days Ive had 5 good scores:

Score 1: 2 40%'s out of 6 in the tray
Score 2: I then asked if she had more and she gave me a roll and it had 17 40%'s out of the 20
Score 3: out of $7.50 in the teller tray, 2 Ben Franklins , 1 40%, 1 Gold Plated
Score 4: out of $2.50, 2 40%'s
Score 5: out of 5 rolls, 1 1964 (my first), and 4 40%'s

my first box of nickels had a 45d, pretty happy about that.

hardly bought any other coins for CRH that CAN have silver yet, so thats not too bad really.

One half dollar - 1970 D, at small Walmart bank.

My first silver find was $5 from a teller tray. It had 6 40%s in it. This was only a couple months ago.

 

[Gitschlag]

Mine was $50 worth of halves, with one 40%er in it.

Does trading a clad dime for a silver one fit this description? If so 10 cents for me

 

[palidin20603]

Bought 6 rolls of CWR Halves and had 71 silver halves. One roll had 1 Barber, 6 WL, and 13 Bens.

 

[Numismaniac]

.10 for a silver dime from teller tray X 2

.25 for a silver quarter from teller tray X 1

.50 for single 90% silver half from teller tray X 4

$1 for single 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar (Teller quote: I don't have any Ike dollars, but I have this funny looking big one, you want this one)

$10 for solid roll of 90% silver halves (both times all 1964) X 2

$60 for six solid rolls of 40% silver halves about three years ago

I think that's it for my silver only hauls. All others were mixed with at least one nasty CLAD

HH to all.

The very first dime roll I ever searched had a Merc. Out of $20 in rolls. Seriously.
