Message:: [QUOTE="cvicisso, post: 1258430, member: 29382"]I went on a hunt for halves today - just random driving around stuff.  I stopped in a BofA branch and the teller had one in her tray oand said they had $330 worth in the back - so I bought them all.  The teller drawer half turned out to be a 1998-S (SMS) in really great shape.  The rest were clearly someone's dump rolls (crimped on one end and folded on the other... do these have a special designation in the CRH world - like CWR or MWR?).  Anyway - I filled a few more holes in my $.50 albums - but no silver.  I also went ahead and got 10 rolls of quarters just for the fun of it (with little hope of scoring silver).  I pulled out a few ATBs, 2009s, and 1999s that were in good shape.  Oh, and a 1966 Panamanian 1/4 Balboa (I started keeping all that stuff in a special jar - it's now almost as fun as finding silver!).  I recycled everything back into my account via the coin machine in my Credit Union's lobby, went to another of their branches on my last stop and scored another 44 rolls of halves.  But... same deal: they were obvious dumps.  Nada (except for a few less holes in the albums and a 2005 and 2010. So, now my yield (for silver halves) is: 1 out of 2,450 or 0.039%.  But I'm hoping I have better luck with MWRs from the Fed when I start ordering boxes on a regular basis.  Volume.[/QUOTE]
