Ok, I called around some banks on Friday. One of them said they had 60 in halves, a bunch of other banks had several hundred in halves. So I hit the road.
The first bank I got to was the one who said they had $60. When I got there, I asked for the halves. The teller comes out and says they only had $40. Another teller tells her that she has silver dollar rolls. I asked if I could have them as well, and asked for the 60 in halves too. She hands them to me, 40 in big dollars, 60 in halves. I got to all the other banks, get $100 dimes, and $600 more in halves. Out of all the coins here are the totals.
halves- a 1972 gold dipped half
a 1983 gold dipped half counter stamped 1960 and 1980 ( I found one of these about 5 months ago too)
a 1964 ken My only silver half this trip
a 1982 no fg, AU condition.
dimes- 3 lousy Canadians, no silver

Big dollars- 2 1972 ikes, both high relief modified version, one in AU shape, one in ok shape

and a 1921D Morgan!! I'd say in MS 60, a sweet coin. The D on this coin is tiny, does anyone know if there was a micro D that year?? My book doesn't say so, but it seems very small.

Most of the other big dollars were 1976 ikes. This is the first time a bank has ever had rolled big dollars for me, but I never really ask for them because they normally don't have them. I will ask for them from now on, even though I know it will be rare to come across them.

Nice snag on the Morgan!
 
Congrats! It's crazy that the big 'ol silvers are still out there! ffd
 
It was the first Morgan minted in Denver. The mint marks are very small for that year. No variety. Nice score.
 
Thanks guys. I thought it was pretty weird that they had rolled large dollars. Sometimes you'll see some ike dollars in a tray. I've gotten a couple peace dollars in teller trays before, but never rolled big dollars. So if you see rolls of em buy em, cause you've got a shot at some big silver. 72 Ike's are always a good coin, the high relief's are worth some money. I will post pics asap, probly tomorrow.
good hunting all!
 
Any day you find a silver dollar in the wild is a good day.

Congrtulations on the Morgan.
