Message:: [QUOTE="Small Size, post: 2410436, member: 77924"]I did the half dollar roll searching thing in the early 2000's (yes, I'm old). It was the rare roll that didn't have a 40% or several. 90%'s were very common. Mostly 64's. I'd ask for half rolls at banks all over town, and at random banks whenever I traveled. I never thought of having an exclusive dump bank, so I saw lots of the same rolls until I learned to wait a month or so between excursions. My wife, my business partner and the staffers I'd get to pick up halves when making deposits all thought I was nuts.I finally sold most of the accumulation at the end of 2005 when silver hit $10. $2.00 per $1.00 on the 40%, $5.00 per $1.00 on the 90%. Around $2200 face. Netted about $3000. Should have seen the looks I got. I still have the 3 Colombian halves I found, as well as a 46s BTW and a 67 that's about VG, always wondered where it circulated so much to get that worn.But back then I'd be unhappy if a roll didn't yield at least 2 40%'s. Don't have the patience to do what you fellows do.[/QUOTE]
