Message:: [QUOTE="jones2278, post: 1108378, member: 29397"]Hi everyone. First off I want to say that I am new here and new to coin roll hunting. I was fascinated by coins and loved them when I was younger but never really new what I was doing then when I collected them. My father was a loan officer at a bank and would bring me home 2 dollar bills and coins that he thought were neat. I don't know what happened to those, but here lately for some reason, I have got back interested in collecting. I went yesterday to the bank closest to me and asked if they had any rolls of Halves. The teller said he had $200 worth, which was odd because that is exactly what I had. He said, and I quote, "I didn't think we were ever going to get rid of these." I don't ever expect to find something like this again, but I will for sure try. I know it's not the biggest or best find ever, but I would say it was out of the ordinary. Here is what I found: (31) - 1965-70 Kennedy Halves (21) - 1964 Kennedy Halves (14) - 1951-63 Franklin Halves (8) - 1942-45 Walking Liberty Halves (1) - 1907 Barber Half Dollar (1) - 2006 S Kennedy Proof  It was a nice surprise. I couldn't believe they had been sitting there for who knows how long with no one, not even the tellers, curious. Just wanted to post this after reading other recent threads of people being discouraged here lately. Other members are right, there is still silver out there.[/QUOTE]
