I applaud your continued success. The total of the 90% halves recovered must be a decent-sized hill in your backyard.

Thanks, Shinn! I am very thankful for all the finds.......especially, lately. But sadly, all but a few were lost in a tragic boating accident...... 8-)

I haven’t picked up coins for sorting in a very long time. I stopped at a Chase branch on Saturday and asked for halves. The teller had seven rolls but could only give me two since I didn’t have a business account. It’s because of the coin shortage she told me. Now I’m wondering which local businesses are actually using half dollars for change. I also picked up $5 loose halves from another branch.

$25 total in halves - no silver

Surprisingly at my local grocery store I was handed back a half dollar in change... no silvers in the till unfortunately. I had to ask!
It seems that businesses are using whatever they can get their hands on. I have the feeling this "shortage" is never going to end. We'll hear some new excuse to why coins are disappearing from circulation.

Visited my credit union to try my luck. Foot traffic was non existent. Teller said it was slower than normal. I got lucky and was able to get $415.00 in rolls.
Found single nickels in two separate quarter rolls and then i got a Foreign slug.
Good thing I checked and learned a lesson. The slug was a 1955 Nederland Gulden juliana-6.5 gram of .072 silver.
Nothing else in quarter or dimes. Have some pennies and nickels to save for something to do this winter.

I hope that is $800 in halves. I wouldn't want to go through that much of something else, unless I had a really good idea they came from a deceased coin collector.

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.

$275 dimes.
Methodology. I cut the rolls in half.then slide it into my palm to look at the edge.then dump onto my sorting tray, repeat with other half. So then I look at the 50 coins, removing any, problem coin
, for spending.after all, I don't want to jam the coin counter.
In one roll I cut ,and saw silver, exciting ,one other. 64 *2. I missed the second in the edge sort. 47 i saw on the edge. 59 I was unsure, not the glaring standout, yet caught my eye enough to say, wait a second...

Nickels were less than spectacular.
Pennies were about average. Only standout being 7/8 $10 sorting increments had wheats.

Story...
Went into Chase, they have lifted the 2 roll restrictions.
Heard a child behind me, turned to look, mom is holding a bucket.I ask ,coin.yes.well I am here to buy coin,how much do you have. Close to $100.
Well as I hold up the 100 in my hand.I will save us both standing in line.she goes to the deposit bench and starts unloading. $95 but there is loose odd change. She starts counting.
Moral of the story..last coin she pulls,....a 1967 half.
Good to the last drop.eh.
