<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2347853, member: 27832&quot;]Well, first, if it&#039;s 22 rolls at $10 face value each, that&#039;s 440 halves. (20-coin rolls are standard for half dollars, although I occasionally heard of 40-coin, $20 rolls back in those days.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver value for dimes, quarters and halves is currently 11.45 times face value; for half dollars, that&#039;s about $5.73 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you have 440 halves, that&#039;s just over $2500 silver value, assuming no numismatic premium. In reality, half-dollars do trade at a slight premium; this afternoon, I was seeing rolls of 90% halves going for $150-160 or more on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it were me, unless I needed the cash immediately, I&#039;d hang on to them. I&#039;d also go ahead and open and search them, but I&#039;m not sure I can back that opinion with supporting evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
