So, when stopping to put some money in my bank account today to pay bills, I asked if they had any half dollars. Teller pulled out a $30 worth in a ziplock (apparently their wrappers were too small?) I bought them and found a 64 in there!
WOOHOOO!!!! Happy to finally luck into one!!!

Sorting this year has been terrible. I am so very close to giving up. Been cut off at 3 of my 4 pick-up banks and haven't found near what I was finding last year. 300 toz. last year, so I did get some while the gettin' was good.
@Goof, nice score on the '64. Hope you find many more!

Yeah, halves suck. First two boxes were great (though nowhere near what some of you guys have found) but in the last 8 boxes I think I've found ONE 40%. If I got even one 40 per box on average it would probably be worth it, but this is just stupid. I'm canceling my weekly half order and replacing it with another box of dimes... maybe 2.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.
