So me and the boys were running to banks for pennies and after hitting up the 3rd bank with no pennies i told my fiances oldest son to just grab 5 rolls of halfs if this next bank doesnt have pennies also....so he ends up coming out with no pennies but 5 rolls...they werent fed wrapped so i was curious and unwrapped in the car...first roll i unwrapped i could see 4 silvers right off the bar...im already super stoked...so i check them out...3 64s and 1 40....nice! Never found 64s in rolls before....so long story short...i unwrap them all and score silver in each roll...i get to the last roll....almost all silver! 16 total! So i go back and buy a few more...score some more silver! 43 40% coins...and 9 64s!...thank you jesus! I guess some guy brought them in and cashed them in...300 total....tommarow i will be going back with a nice wad of cash ;)

Awesome score, man. Let us know if you score big tomorrow too. I have visions of doing that every time I ask the tellers if they've gotten any halves lately.

Make sure you are there as soon as the doors open, the tellers might go home and figure out what you are up to! ;)

Quite remarkable... almost unbelievable.

What state do you live in? Small or large town? Rural area? Major bank or small bank?
Time is precious, stop wasting it.

Sweet score. Take all the cash you can. You never want to leave anything behind.

I did some half hunting at banks in the past. Found 2 rolls of 40% one day. One solid roll at the first bank and 19 at my last bank and 1 more along the way. Went to 12-15 banks that day.

Very nice score there man!! But I wouldn't put limits on your score of a lifetime, you can do better just keep looking :)
