Message:: [QUOTE="cphine, post: 761434, member: 20940"]SJVM,Can't seem to get a PM to send, so I'll just respond here.It's taken me a LOT of rolls to get my $100 (actually up to $118.75 now that I look at my spreadsheet...mostly 40%ers though).  I got really lucky the first couple weeks I started looking, about three months ago, but since then it's been slim pickings.  I know some other folks are making the same rounds I am now because I've bought some of their obvious castoffs and the tellers I've made friends with at one bank mentioned that someone else had started coming in.I live in Charlotte, NC and we have a bunch of banks which makes it easier for me than someone in a more rural area.  There's more competition though.  I've probably been through 10-15k worth at this point, but frankly I stopped keeping track.  About 20% of my finds came from one lucky bank visit in the first week I was looking...which only fed the addiction, LOL.I've been graced with several proofs and post 2001's as well, so it's great for the collecting and not just the silver.How bad have I gotten?  I've just gotten back from a cruise and I stopped at a bank next to my hotel in Port Canaveral to ask for their half dollars to look through on my way home.  Sad... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
