<p>[QUOTE=&quot;diburning, post: 3791338, member: 70451&quot;]Picked up 8 CWRs of halves at the &quot;Canadian&quot; bank. Nothing worth keeping although it looks like someone cashed in a worthless collection.&nbsp; All of the coins were facing the same way and each roll was one date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I went to the &quot;Brand C&quot; bank and asked if they had halves. Apparently they order and carry them, but they wouldn&#039;t give me more than $280 worth. When I handed them $300, they somehow &quot;found&quot; two more rolls. I ended up getting 28 MWRs and 2 CWRs. The CWRs were obvious silver searching dumps. The MWRs were suspicious. The rolls were definitely machine wrapped, but it makes me wonder if a local collector/silver stacker actually has a wrapping machine. The wrappers were NF String and Sons branded (isn&#039;t that what the Mint uses for circulation coins?) and showed no signs of being re-wrapped. Almost nothing of value in the MWRs except for two NIFCs that, to be honest, if I wasn&#039;t a hoarder, I probably would not keep. One 2007D with the ring of death (ring gouge from coin wrapping machine) and one 2014P with moderate nicks in the fields. I wonder if these were simply rejected by a previous hunter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;m going to stop searching halves for a while. None of the banks around me will order them because either they can&#039;t (which may be a lie), or they always have some, but are other searchers&#039; dumps. (I do the courteous thing and dump mine into a coin counter at my credit union where they send the bag out by armored car once it fills up, so there&#039;s no chance of me or another searcher coming across the dumped coins until after Loomis or whoever else mixes and rewraps them)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
