[QUOTE="FmrFiatFollower, post: 1932934, member: 35871"]I grew up and was stationed in the San Diego area for many years. I recently made a trip down there after being away for about a year and figured I would try my luck at sorting while I was there. Coin-roll hunting has been a recent thing for me (I've only been doing it for the past three-four years now and I have never done it in the San Diego area). I thought it would be a good idea to hit some of the smaller town banks in the outskirts of San Diego so I went up to the Escondido, Fallbrook, and Temecula areas, down to Chula Vista, over to San Marcos, La Jolla, and over to the Oceanside area (my old stomping grounds) to order coins. The first $15,000 worth of halves netted me a lonely two 40% halves and my second trip which was an additional $10,000 yielded NO silver halves. Thank goodness I was also looking for proofs and other cherry picking coins or it would have been a real waste of a weekend of sorting. Has anybody else tried this area? Success/Failure? Any better luck with 25 cent, 10 cent, 5 cent pieces?[/QUOTE]
