Stopped at four banks this morning and bought $12 in loose halves, producing a 1967. All of my 2023 silver has been 35-40 percent except for one fluky quarter. However, 35-40 percent is way better than zero!

Bank 1...no coin to spare.,all new...
But we have $700 small dollars... Yikes. Over load.
I took $100.

Bank two....not my normal teller, rather, a dumb blonde.
$20 dimes...zip
$8 nickels...zip
$7.50 pennies...I think this is more, coin from a school. As one roll was all shields, next all memorial...

Been a while since I posted on this forum.

Earlier this week, I found myself in a new area, so I checked out a few banks. No luck in the first three, including one where the teller and I swapped stories of our finds. Last bank, the teller said she had 5.00 in halves, and started to give me grief about not having an account. I used my usual line, of "do you really want to keep counting these every night?" That and my smile plus the line of people behind me must have worked:

Nice catch!

90% at 1x face. Way to go!

All forty percent, BUT, I would still consider it time well spent.

Wednesday's box of halves yielded....... 2 x 66, 2 x 67, 4 x 69, and 1 x 69!!!!
