<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1043902, member: 27832&quot;]Afternoon leg of the half-dollar search:</p><p><br /></p><p>First 4 banks &amp; 2 groceries -- no halves, period. (One teller did have a pair of silver quarters in her tray where the halves would go; no, she wasn&#039;t interested in selling them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- &quot;we have 10 rolls; how many do you want?&quot; I smelled a dumping ground, and I think I was right; got two rolls, one entirely 1996, the other mostly 1971. Decided not to try my luck with any more of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank, actually a credit union -- 13 Ikes; 8 halves, 1 40%, 2 90%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- none</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- none; &quot;We had a few dollars worth, but someone came by a little while ago and bought them.&quot; (Better drive faster!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- 8 halves, 2 40%</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- 1 clad</p><p><br /></p><p>Next bank -- none</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s all about luck and timing. When I found the 12 40%&#039;ers this morning, the teller said &quot;<i>we just broke our last roll, and this is all we have left</i>&quot; -- wonder just how many 40%&#039;ers or better came through there, and how long ago?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
