Well, Im running out of time to do my roll hunting, so I had to step it up! Now I will be ordering $1500 dollars a week and unloading them at the bank twice a week. I dont want to drop 1500 on em all at once. I figure 750 at a time is more than enough.

A little background: Apparently, I may have maxed out my source for halves. The armored car company that services my bank has begun delivering me halves in bags of $500, instead of the $500 boxes. On Wednesday I picked up my bags, and was surprised to find a box with it. The results between my box and the bags was quite different. The box, which I did first, yielded me great results, and if I had had the same luck on the bags I would have been amazed. Anyways, the results from the box were 5x1964; 1x1965;1x1966; 8x1967; 4x1968D; 6x1969D; 1x1983S; 1x2002D. That was my first circulated proof. :) The next bag was the worst, as I only came away with 1x1967; 1x1968D; 1x1969D. The last bag was more on par with what I am used to getting, not a ton, not none. 1x1964; 1x1965; 1x1966; 3x1967; 1x1969D. Also, somewhere in all those halves I found 2x1974D double dies. Im not up to 5 of them bad boys.

Now...its suddenly Friday and I have no halves to search...fortunately, I got out of work at 1545! You guys know what that means...on fridays the bank lobbies stay open until 1700! So, I hit all the banks I could in the hour I had before they closed. Picked up $$294 in loose halves and $50 in rolls. The joke was on me for the rolled halves...they were at a bank where I had dropped off a few hundred dollars worth a few months ago. :) The loose halves proved very fruitful, yielding:
1 1952D
1 1954D
1 1960D
1 1963D
1 1964
2 1965
8 1966
8 1967
8 1968D
2 1969D
and one lonesome bicentennial Ike, who I liberated from his cage! Hope you guys didnt mind reading this. I enjoy posting my finds, but I prefer reading about everyone elses, cause it keeps me going! Good luck!

P.S. I went and hit a demoed lot this morning (first time not to do parks) and found my first ever 2 wheaties!

You definitely did VERY well with those results,CONGRATULATIONS! You even found some Bens! WTG!
 

Not bad at all! My limited half dollar purchases (maybe $180-200 by now) have yielded zero silver so far. That's another reason I am focusing more on pennies right now.

That's a lot of silver AF, nice going! Love those Bennies! Keep liberating that silver from the ravages of circulation!
