    Nah! He placed his order at the bank for two boxes of Walkers, but when he went through them, he didn't find a single Kennedy so he sent them back.

    You may have better luck with rolls dimes as half dollars much noticable and tellers see them first. ppl usually cash in $1 coins & halvesseperatly for paper. this time of year ideal to snag a few rolls as ppl cash in piggy banks for gift money.

    The biggest piece of advice is to not become discouraged. I've personally search $5k in halves and not get anything. It's all about timing, waiting for that one customer that's been sitting on a cache of old silver halves just to cash them in for Christmas presents and etc. The more frequently you ask for them, the higher your chances of hitting that jackpot. Best of luck to you, cheers!

    That isn't the reason. We often get these wide-bodied threads because a lot of people don't bother resizing their photos in Photobucket before they post them here. If they would only size them to, say, 600x600 or 800x800 before posting them, this wouldn't happen. Instead, they leave them at 3260x2880 or so. As a result, I will often have to scroll all the way to the east coast of Florida (I'm on the west coast) to read the right side of the page. I don't want to hear any of that browser crappola. It shouldn't matter.

    That's because you're on page 2. Wait until someone posts a photo without resizing it.

    Finished going through $500. Found 1 1967, a 1982 no fg in bad condition and about $30 in bicentennials. Will anyone buy rolls of bicentennials over face value?

    well i use to sell the rolls of bicentennials for $16 a roll on ebay , i would usually just pick out the best ones and take a pic , not much profit maybe $2 - $3 lol i really did this because i didn't want to dump a massive amount of halves since my bank has to run the coins through the counter on their own and sometimes they seem annoyed >.>
