<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afm1982, post: 1157049, member: 15483&quot;]I concur with others in the thread regarding boxes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Banks do get their money from regional depository offices that the money delivery people use. With Halves, since they don&#039;t really circulate like quarters, dimes or nickels, there is a higher chance that someone has searched and dumped rolls at a bank. The bank doesn&#039;t know what to do with hundreds of dollars in halves, so they send it back to the depo. The depo will then send it back out when another bank orders them (presumably for a customer that will search for silver, then dump elsewhere.) So, it is my theory, that boxes of halves are just being cycles around by silver searchers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in 2007-2008, I would get boxes of halves just for this purpose. A good box would net 4-6 silver (usually clads). I would actually spend them all (you should see the look by a cashier when I would buy $40 or so in clothes in all halves.) By the end of 2008 though, I went through a string of 20 boxes in a row, from different banks, and bank branches, without a single silver coin. So, I stopped. I was living in Orlando, Fl at the time, so it wasn&#039;t like it was a small town. I figured that I had gone through the stock, and there wasn&#039;t anything left to pick out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
