Went through a box of halves tonight. Results:
1 x 1962 Franklin (my first from a box, super excited)
1 x 1964
5 x 40% silver
1 x 2007 proof
and finally, at least $25 in each 2001p, 2006, 2007, 2009. I used to get excited when I found anything newer than 2001. Anyone else see this before? Suppose I'll go through and pick out the best ones.

Box of halves:
zero silver
1 1977 s nice find
6 penny rolls
7 log cabins
2 log splitters
1 1944 orange wheatie
My luck is completely gone from half searching. I have 4 boxes plus an extra $110 in a row without a single silver.  At least I got one keeper out of this. When I was at the bank, the teller did find one 2009 P dime for me.

VERY LUCKY at the bank this week...
I normally roll search pennies with my sons, but Thursday the teller said when I was picking up pennies a fellow had dropped off a lot of halves and wanted to know if I wanted some. I said, sure, I'll take two. When I got home, one roll was labeled 1978-1979, and sure enough had only those, the other was 1967-1968, and sure enough twenty of those! I went back to the back yesterday and asked if there were any more labeled pre 1971, and she brought out four more rolls from the vault of 40% and sold 'em to me. So, 100 total 40% halves! I was ecstatic. No 90% rolls, but I shouldn't be greedy...

not really sure if this qualifies as a roll search. Prob not, but while at the laundry mat this morning I got change from the change machine and got a 42d quarter. Being the compulsive coin collector I am I went and got 30 dollars from the ATM and put it all in. Out came a 63d,42,44s,42,52d,44,45d and two bicenn. I then went to the local Shop N Save to cash in my change at the CoinStar machine and went back but nothing else came out.

Since I'm new here, I will share my latest roll results of each denomination, even though it was done about a month ago for the newest to Christmas for the previous.
Cents- (4 rolls) 2 Wheats, 57 D and 48, one Canadian (1982) One 1961.
Nickels- 1961 was the oldest, one 64 D, most were from the 1988-2006 time period
Dimes- 2008 D. The entire roll! It was good as I needed the date/mintmark for my collection, but I didn't really need that many of them. All uncirculated, I could not bring myself to drop them into the family change jar, so they are all sitting waiting for me to figure out what to do with them.
Quarters- Nothing at all good, every single coin ended up being spent at the local laundramat (which I probably spelled wrong). I think the oldest was a 79, and highly scratched up, not worth saving my any means.
My local banks can't or won't get halves.
