Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1322580, member: 31533"]Yeah, in my locality in Southern California,  I've gone through about 4,000$ in halves in the past 4 months, and I have very few keepers. Like only three or so from 1965-69. And one Frankie, which I sold. Many of the coins I got were marked in permanent marker with what I assume to be initials (SC if I remember right) so someone is going through a lot and marking all they have done. Halves have just not been good for me. I also had the issue of having to go 15 miles one way for the coins, so that's just over a gallon of gas for a round trip. Each week means that's 4.00 plus an hour of my time, with bad results I quit that, so I'm not currently searching rolls of halves. The few I got that were keepers for silver content actually came from a credit union where I don't order boxes, but searched CWRs. The Frankie did come from the distant bank, but again only one in a lot searched doesn't even pay for gas. For the people who are getting the coins, congrats! I have no bad feelings for you. But my locality is not good for them at this time. Now, I've had much better luck with cents, nickels, and dimes; still not much, but at least feels worthwhile to continue.[/QUOTE]
