<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fifty, post: 1108187, member: 24555&quot;]They are harder and harder to find. I don&#039;t roll search anymore. I got lucky once <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t109004/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t109004/">http://www.cointalk.com/t109004/</a> On my paticular lucky find there were lots of mint state coins in the bag. I kept one roll of each date for myself. I tried to resell some of the others but could not get any dealers to pay a premium. Right now I&#039;m just holding. I have assembled a &quot;homeade&quot; bag of 40% halves. I occasionally get 40% silver halves from banks in customer wrapped rolls or loose from tellers. They are never in mint state. I&#039;m not sure what a graded MS 40% half would go for. I&#039;m not sure if the furnaces are running as much as they were in 1980 but I am sure the number of 40% halves is dwindling. One thing you have to remember is if the only ones that are kept are the nice ones then that will be all that is available and the premium (if any) will go down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
