<p>[QUOTE="JoshuaP, post: 25229532, member: 114157"]In 2010 when silver went to almost $50 an ounce, it seemed like people started coin roll hunting harder than ever. That may just be my perception. You will eventually find one if you keep at it. Most of the boxes I ordered through the bank were "skunks." My best was going to a local bank and finding six solid rolls of 40% silver halves. So many people seem to be searching rolls, I think your best chance is when someone takes a relative's stash to the bank with no thought of looking for old coins. You could also offer to buy the bags from the coin counting machines but be careful. I have been burned because they do not always count right. I lost $60 from one bag only to find one silver. Here in Chicago, nobody will sell me even one roll of change without an account. I tried eight different banks and finally admitted defeat. With three children three years old and under and being a full-time student, I don't have time anyway![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
