You’ve hit a vein! Can you double your box request or is that pushing your luck with the bank?

I could. My pick up bank would be cool with that. But, I don't think my dump bank would appreciate it.

Stopped at three banks today. First one had $24 in halves, but all junk. Other two had no halves at all. After reading saabmans results, I might have to start ordering boxes!

Recent half dollar searches:

2/20/24- 4 banks with the following amts. of halves...
$4.50 face value
$90.00
$42.50
$6.50
2/28/24- $10.00
3/11/24- $180.00

So, that makes $333.50 total for the 6 banks above. No silver.

Also, that makes $955.00 searched since 11/28 with no silver found. Glad I'm not going out of my way to get these halves. I'd have a really hard time justifying the effort. If this wasn't a hobby, I frankly wouldn't even continue. But I like this hobby, even though the hobby doesn't like me right now...

Tuesday I got halves from 7 different banks, 4 of which were in about a one square mile area.

Received the following amounts from the banks:

$9.50
$10.50
$13
$45
$60
$80
$253

A total of $471 in halves.

The only silver to be found was a single 1982 Washington commem half (BU).

One of the tellers did tell me she had 2 rolls of wheat cents and I gobbled those up. I broke open one of the rolls and it appeared to be all wheats including a 1919-D.

This was still quite a bit of work for way less than minimum wage. Still, I’m not giving up.

D. .didn't even think to look at,,,last years,,

Got more of them too. Odd how they are ,,,clumped,,,into a roll. Then nothing in 10 more rolls. You would think that within a box, they would have ,,,equal,,, distribution
