I picked up something special today...something I've never actually done before...

I present to you...A box of halves!!!

Chase here in Denver NEVER has halves and I've spoken to my favorite teller about it before...last week she offered to order a box and I thought...YES!!!
I've never done a box of halves before, ever.
The last few rolls of halves I got were from the Credit Union of Denver and they had a handful of sharpie marked coins, so someone is obviously searching regularly through their rolls.

I also grabbed a few more beautiful shiny quarter rolls with the hopes of some W's knock on wood!!!

And she pulled out a few customer rolls and told me they aren't from a collector or a business...she's pretty sure they were from someone's change jar, so I'm hoping for something cool in there too!

Good luck and I still dream to get a box of halves one day.

 

Good luck! Let us know if you find anything good!

 

Awesome. Happy hunting and wishing you great success!

 

Nice! I see a few bicentennials right off, hopefully you find some silver!
I've never done a box of halves before but I plan to at some point...

 

Posting the results so far

Got through 15 out of the 50 rolls tonight...
Taking a close look at every single one being careful not to miss anything.

The very first roll had a sharpie mark from the same roll hunter who's been marking coins at the Credit Union of Denver lol! These rolls are from Chase. I ran into about 6 marked coins by what looks like 2 different hunters both using sharpies, argh. I know acetone...but still, it's rude lol.

No silver yet.
One ok condition 2005 NIFC.
One YouTube channel advertisement (yes, you heard me lol!).
One 1996 in a very low MS condition, but pretty in hand.
One 1977 with some pleasing gold toning (I was losing my light so it was tough to photograph).










And switching to some quarters for a while...

 

Good luck and its about the hunt!!!!!.

 

Any updates?.

 

Best wishes on a successful hunt. Those rolls do look appealing.

 

Did 16 more of the rolls...19 rolls left to go in the box!

Out of these next 16 rolls I got at least 20 coins with sharpie marks...some of them marked multiple times in different colors. Note to self...half dollars in the Denver area are getting searched a lot at multiple banks by searchers who like to sharpie the coins lol!

Still no silver. But I did get two nice MS condition halves from this batch.
A 1971-D and a 1996-D





Some of the sharpied coins...

 

Some nice coins out of that box so far! It pisses me off to no end when these guys put marks on the coins.
