    Found 8 halves......skunk.

    So, Why not switch to dimes as suggested by Merc. I got a box of dimes on the way home.....skunk.

    lol. My most recent string of luck is laughable. :)

    Where do you buy your boxes at? The bank?

    Yep. I've been buying boxes from one bank and got skunked every time. I went to BofA and got 10 rolls yesterday with 1 40%er, then 20 rolls today with fantabulous results. This BofA will now be my bank of choice. Fortunately, they haven't asked me yet if I have an account. My husband does, but I'm not on it. Does that still count? I guess we'll see.

    2nd week in a row with some silver for me! If you remember I posted about getting that $1 silver certificate, and they had $20 in halves, rolled with a different looking wrapper (CWR). I picked the halves up today, I was happy and suprised that they were still there AND that they even set them aside for me!

    The first roll was NOTHING but Bicentenials...=( I thought I was doomed for sure. I checked the second roll, one end had a 1995 and the other had a 1988. At least this one was mixed. So, I open one end, poor them out and BOOM! 1967! 40%er #2 in 2 weeks, or $25 searched, 2 40%ers found. However, I have searched FAR MORE than $25 all together, and these are still the only 2 that I have found.

    Stopped at the drive through to pick up a box of dimes and also asked for any halves. She holds up 3 silver halves which turned out to be 3 40%ers:thumb:. Box of dimes gave me 1 63.

    Maybe try some Nickels, might land a few War Nickels and/or Buffs. Most War Nickels I got in one box was 4.

    Are CWR's better than pre-wrapped rolls for finding silver?

    Lol depends... Are you catching soneone's dump or not?? If searching halves I take loose first, boxes second, and cwr (of over 5 rolls) last. I've bought too many searched cwr only to have to dump them. Just my opinion. However dimes and cents can be promising. I don't mess w quarters

    I'm a newbie at this still, but I agree already. I went into Wells Fargo today, got 12 rolls of CWR Halves. I was through the 5th or 6th roll when I started to notice that all coins were facing the same direction, and we sorted chronologically. I think the same picked over rolls may have been circulating in the area for a while.

    I went into another WF branch and they just showed me their loose halves, which was great. I also asked if they had anything interesting come through and she said a customer brought in two $500 bills to deposit. When I asked if I could buy those, she said the manager packed them up and shipped them back to the Fed that same day. Ughhhh....

    Still away from home. I have not opened a roll in over a week. No, it is not an intervention, but even if it were, it is not working. I am climbing the walls here !
