<p>[QUOTE="Victor, post: 434545, member: 5454"]I've done a lot of roll searching mostly with the half dollars. There are also 1983P coins with no designer's initials. Check 1968D reverses for doubling. The 1987 P and D are worth saving if in nice condition. Also I have yet to find a decent 1998P or 1998D so watch for them. I lucked out and got a nice double head magic coin and a broadstruck Kennedy. Also in rolls I got a 1965 Canada half and a nice 1966 Bahama half with the Blue marlin reverse. Both of those are 80% silver.</p><p>Recently I have stopped searching large quantities of half dollar rolls. Mainly due to the banks getting wise and the employees picking out all the silver for themselves.</p><p>I think that by seeing me come in and buying all the rolls of halves they had [over and over again] they figured out I was looking for silver. One assistant manager told me if I was looking for silver I was out of luck. She stated she inspected every half dollar that comes into her bank and takes all the silver out for herself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
