3 boxes of halves

box 1 = SKUNK

box 2 = 4 40%

box 3 = 3 40%

Also had the manager come over and say "What are all of you guys looking for in the half dollars?" "I swear the last few months tons of people are bringing these in and I don't know why".

I like to collect the Bi-Centennials

Good One...

What's the date on that V-Nick? Nice find...

Pesos used to be dollar coins... Think the US $50 will be on a new nickel sized coin someday soon?

Opened a savings account at my dump bank earlier this year and discovered they had plastic rolls. My thought was to save enough from my penny and nickle culls to have enough to start sorting halves. Ta DA, I cracked open my first two half dollar boxes this week (my bank has a minimum of two).

Upon entering the bank, I was looking forward to posting my half finds along side of those of whom I look up to as mentors. It felt like I was stepping up to the major leagues of sorting and I just got called up to play. I was a little apprehensive when I left the bank as they had "$500" printed on four sides of the boxes and it felt like I was carrying a large sign that said "LOOK AT THIS" Had my hopes up as it advertised plastic rolls on the inside and how to open but was filled with paper rolls. I thought perhaps they were "old" rolls, as they had nondescript brown print with nothing that said "String" on them.

My result to add to the stats: Two Skunks. 0-2 at the plate. So much for my first imagined Major League appearance. I think maybe I've been working in sports to long.

If I am nothing else, I am persistant. Expect more posts in the future. I'll whoop when I get my first. It's a jungle out there. I also need to add I got skunked on a box of Ni. No war silver.

Good luck man! Your comment at the end about being persistant is...THE KEY.

Ok, I finally bought a bag of halves. I found 49 40% halves.

I have not sorted in a while. I had 3 bags that sat for over a month and out of 3 bags I found 3 40% halves. So I took some time off and got a nice bag this week.

I hope the good luck continues.
