<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AgCollector, post: 159705, member: 5928&quot;]Dot- In my experience there are two kinds of sources of halves: (1) banks where they collect over time, and (2) banks that will order boxes for you from the Fed or whoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever I go to a bank I&#039;ve never been to before and ask for halves, it&#039;s case number (1), and they are almost always very happy to give you as many as they have.&nbsp; This is typically anywhere between $10 and $900 worth (since at $1000 they can ship it off).</p><p><br /></p><p>In case (2), where boxes are ordered, that is not free for the bank and most banks will not do this for non-customers.&nbsp; Even if you&#039;re a customer, they might charge you a small fee.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always prefer case number (1) because I have found *many* more silver halves that way (average is around 5-8%), but the disadvantage is that once you&#039;ve bought them all, that&#039;s it, there are no more.</p><p><br /></p><p>In case (2) the supply is in principle limitless, but the &quot;keeper&quot; yield is much, much lower (0.3% for me).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you have the time I would recommend going to all the banks you can drive to and asking them for halves first.&nbsp; When you&#039;ve exhausted that, think about ordering them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
