When I do get halves, the percentage that are either 40% or 90% silver is very low. Up until 2010-2012ish or so, I used to find LOTS of silver halves.
Still hoping to strike paydirt soon.
Ok, so I did strike some paydirt, finally!
I had ZERO SILVER HALVES since November, 2021 (over 1-1/2 years). I did find a few silver dimes and got 5 silver dollars toward the end of 2022. But no halves…
Then last Friday I got $21.50 in halves, which included (2) 40%ers.
Monday I got $10 in halves with no silver.
Tuesday (today) I got $20.50 in halves. The teller told me she was holding onto them for a while and glad to get rid of them. The first roll had (2) 40%ers. I decided to look initially at the rims and saw (2) more 40%ers. Good thing I looked at dates. There were another (4) 40%ers!
So, (2) 40%ers on Friday and (8) 40%ers on Tuesday.

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
