I just bought my first roll of unsearched halves. I've never searched rolls before and i'm wondering what the odds are in actually finding something per roll. Is it quite rare or actually common
I searched about $500 worth of halves. Not only did I not find any 90%ers, I did not find any 40%s, I did not even find older halves, all were 80s and newer. No proofs as well. I think they get heavily searched here. However, I've seen people find a SOLID ROLL of 90% halves. So you may strike it big, or get skunked. But don't get frustrated and keep trying! You need a buy bank, and a dump bank. That way the bank doesn't get ****ed when you keep bringing them back. Buy them all at one bank, and take them to another. If the dump bank starts to complain, find another. Don't use a coinstar or your going to loose 9 cents on the dollar.
I'vealway been fascinated with halves and dollar coins so i'll probably keep them all no matter what. Just out of curiosity, is there any denomination that has a higher success rate than others
Halves are by far the best to search. My historical numbers average to about 2 silver a box, but that includes some monster boxes and many many skunks.
hope you went thru a bank and not ebay. i look at the prices they want on ebay and just dont understand why people pay so much when u can get them at a bank for $10 a roll
If you ask a bank for a roll of half dollars are the chances good that the will have a rolled one on hand?
Depends on the bank. I was a bank teller for a while several years ago and we neither accepted or gave out hand rolled coins. If someone came in with hand rolled coins...we took them to the coin machine, broke them open, and dumped them in. The only rolls we gave out came in through our armored car service and they were all machine rolled.
