Roll-searchers, post your results!

I'm pretty sure I remember someone here finsih a fe cent. I love the design of them!
On Saturday I stopped at around 6 banks looking for halves. Came out with about 90 dollars worth, which yielded a 1968 D. Can't complain because everyone else is having dry spells, but still would have liked to find a stash of seated Liberty halves....
My box comes of halves comes in two days... I'm very excited!

oldest half? 1934 walker. I remember putting it in my album.

 

blank planchet, yes, but I would guess far fewer than one per box. maybe one per a lot of boxes. But finding one in a new roll like that is a good way to be sure it is the real thing.
For that mater there could be off center strikes, cuds, die clash or other error coins. Again these are very rare. But you will be the first to look through them so you will have the best chance.

 

From a roll - 1952 Franklin
Loose from a teller - 1934-D Walker

 

1914-D in a bank roll several years ago.

 

How many years ago and is that your only barber half? Also do you have any walking liberty halves? Sorry about all the questions.

 

Sorry about all the questions guys. I'm just curious what can be found. I myself have not found anything noteworthy and I am trying to get some hope that there is more than 1 40% in ten or so boxes that I search. I am just tired of finding nothing.

 

I am however taking a trip to a small town in Michigan. I am hoping to score my first 90%ers. I hope to get a few.

 

I know this is a old post but are those 1942s doubles?

 

When you say this do you mean throw back into circulation?

 

5 cwr of halves... nothing.
The question above... the oldest half I have found was a barber, don't recall the year at the moment.

 

How long ago?

 

It was the only Barber I had found, probably 7-8 years ago when silver half finds were much more common for me. I have found probably 20 or so Walkers in circulation and 30 or so Franklins. As people have said, finding silver halves is hit or miss, but when you find them it's worth it due to their size and amount of silver per. Even a 40% silver half is worth about 2 silver dimes. Also, many people know of 90% silver halves, but less know of the 40% (except on this forum).

 

A couple years ago.

 

The oldest I've found was 1885 cent, no date SLQ, 1897 Liberty nickel, 1946 WLH, the hunt is as fun as the find because I know they are out there just got to keep looking.

 

Oldest for me:
Cent - 1885
Nickel - 1904
Dime - 1914
Quarter - Dateless SLQ
Half - 1893
