Spent last week in Maryland with my wife. She was on a business trip & I was her driver. Was going to do 2 days of md & 1 day of crh. Because of the bad weather (it rained starting on Wed), I did 1 day of md & 2 days of crh. Over the course of 2 days & some 49 banks, I got 3 40% halfs ( 1/65, 1/67 & 1/68). Than came the 50th & last bank. The teller told me that she had $50 in halfs. She than asked me if I was looking for silver. I will never admit to that especially to a teller so I told her my usual answer which is I'm looking for coins for my collection. She than told me that there might be some silver in the rolls. I took the rolls & thanked her for the information. I looked at the rolls in my car. They turned out to be amazing. The 1st roll was a solid silver. The next 3 rolls were a mixture of clad & silver. The final roll was also solid silver. The final total of 100 coins were 62 silver & 38 clad. There were 3 90%s (all 1964) & 59 40%s (no 1970). The rolls broke down as follows:Roll 1 (All Silver) 1/64 - 1/66, 10/67, 7/68 & 1/69
Roll 2 (7 Silver) 1/65, 1/66, 3/67, 1/68 & 1/69
Roll 3 (7 Silver) 1/64 - 2/67, 1/68 & 3/69
Roll 4 (8 Silver) 2/65, 1/66, 3/67 & 2/68
Roll 5 (All Silver) 1/64 - 4/65, 6/67, 5/58 & 4/69
That last bank & those 5 rolls made this trip successfull.

It's great to find a solid roll. I've been lucky & found 12 rolls now. However they've all been 40%ers. I hope 1 day to find a 90% roll but until than I'm happy with whatever silver I can find.
