<p>[QUOTE="Melina, post: 1252714, member: 31852"]So today, I decided to call a few banks to see if they had any halves.

[QUOTE="Melina, post: 1252714, member: 31852"]So today, I decided to call a few banks to see if they had any halves.

I got those, looked at them in the car, and they were all straight 74's. Yuck. So I went to the next bank, and they had $170 worth. I traded in my $40 and bought the rest. I got in the car and opened one roll... and needless to say freaked out. [IMG]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4620/img20110825125731.jpg[/IMG] Almost every roll was like this, with only 2/17 rolls containing NO silver. One of the later rolls read "NEW" on the side of it, but it contained all 40% silvers! [IMG]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3803/img20110825131006.jpg[/IMG] After searching through all of them, I ended up with: 63 90% silvers (one Frankie - my first!!!) 73 40% silvers I'm absolutely thrilled as this is my biggest find ever, and I had never found a 90% silver half until today.
