<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Beatty, post: 2520918, member: 77338&quot;]I found 3 this year....along with 20 40% half dollars.&nbsp; The funny thing is, I found 23 coins containing silver and 16 of those were in ONE bank issued box of coin rolls.&nbsp; ($500 box containing 50 rolls).&nbsp; I have searched 5 total boxes this year.&nbsp; In 4 of those boxes (4000 coins) I found 7 total silver coins and only 1 of those was a 1964 Kennedy.&nbsp; But-- in the one &quot;mother load&quot; box I found 16 total silver coins, 3 of which were 90% (2 Franklins and a 64 Kennedy).&nbsp; Wish all the boxes were like that!!</p><p><br /></p><p>The truth is....in my half dollar roll searches, I am finding more S minted proofs, and current dates which aren&#039;t supposed to be in circulation...than I am finding silver.&nbsp; I guess a lot of grandkids are out there today, raiding the family coin collections, and spending the proof coins and &quot;not issued for circulation&quot; coins into the great mix.</p><p><br /></p><p>A better summation of my findings:&nbsp; On average, I am finding less than 2 coins containing silver of ANY kind out of every 1000 coins searched.&nbsp; I think the odds of finding 90% silver are about 1 in 4000 coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
