Do you want any half dollars? I had come in for pennies, but the teller recognized me as someone who has asked for halves in the past. I thought for a second, because I haven't been focusing much on halves recently, but decided it was fate of some kind that she asked me. She tells me she has $20 in halves that she'd love to get rid of, so I figure I might as well grab them. Good move! Opened up the first roll and got two 40% halves, the second yielded four more! Piling up the copper is nice, but there's something about getting free silver that really gets me excited! 6 X $5.92 = $35.52. Not a bad yield on a 20 dollar investment, especially when considering that I get 17 out of the 20 back when I return the copper alloy ones!
