[QUOTE="xCoin-Hoarder'92x, post: 2024457, member: 72758"]I see youtube videos of people ordering $500 Half Dollar Boxes and only finding 2 or 3 40% silver halves and maybe 1 1964 somewhere in the middle of all the junk. I know a few here locally who do the same and are considering quitting silver hunting because it's too time consuming. Also many banks don't seem to carry many coins to begin with. I have an account with US Bank, every time I walk in to either of my 2 branches we have here, the only rolled up coins they have are pennies, nickels, dimes, and the almost worthless new presidential $1 "gold" coins. Years ago, I heard people had better luck with such things, like finding dozens of 40% halves and some 64's. It's a bit late for that now, since many coin collectors have done this for a long time. There's probably still some money in penny hunting or nickel hunting if I invested time in that, but the quarters and halves extremely rarely if ever end up being worth the time.[/QUOTE]
