I've been reading these posts in the last few weeks, and looking at the highlights from about 2 million dollars worth of halves sorted this year. Wow. Some astronomical stuff has been discovered! That got me thinking I'd sure like to find me something...

Today's my day off. So this afternoon, while the family was doing some errands, I said hey I wanna pull into this bank here and see if I can get some of the new Lincoln dollars, and maybe see if they've got some halves I could buy.

They had $70 worth, and the lady said, "I'll be so glad to get rid of them. There was a guy who used to come in here and buy a lot, but he hasn't been in for quite some time. I've had these for a long time! Do you REALLY want ALL $70? Oh, good gracious, thank you!"

Haha... she should have opened them.

Roll one... four 40%ers.
Roll two... five 40%ers.
Roll three... five 40%ers.
Roll four... four 40%ers.
Roll five... two 40%ers.
Roll six... three 40%ers and a 90% Kennedy.
Those six were customer wrapped. The seventh roll was Brinks wrapped, and was a skunk.

So you better believe I went to every other bank I could think of, in my small town. One had none. The next one's lobby was closed and for some reason the drive through didn't have a window on the bank, just the ones with the "tubes." The next had none. The next had $80 (skunk, all Brinks rolls). The next had none. The next one was closed.

So now I have the fever, and my town doesn't have any halves!

All told, in $150 searched, I found 23 40% halves and one 90%:
