- Welcome back to the channel for this Halftime Production!
This is one for the record books. I've been coin roll hunting for the last seven years, with a huge focus on half dollars in the last five+. This is my all-time best hunt for finding silver half dollars.
This hunt is a small one from a quantity searched standpoint, only searching $102 in halves. But boy did we walk away with a haul of silver. These halves came from a bank that I am NOT a member of. I made some rounds on my lunch break. I tend to call ahead to multiple banks to see if its worthwhile for me to stop in. This bank I check in every couple of months to see if they have any half dollars and they've always been willing to sell me halves off their coin machine. The bank put these in the envelope at the bank and as soon as they handed to me I heard that classic silver sound. This unmistakable sound was resonating! There were clearly so many in there. 10 seconds later I recorded my initial clip walking out of the bank. And of course I couldn't wait taking a peek! Join me on this hunt to see just how many silvers we found out of 204 coins!
Sorry for the long video. I tried to cut where I could but even that was limited. Either way though... it was going to be long.

Congrats, dramatic score! I gave up CRH about ten years ago after two full boxes of zero coins. Then, the other day I asked a bank teller for halves and got 8 cust-rolled rolls. In those rolls were 28 90% and 41 40%. I was stunned. Normally, I ask for halves and they have 4 and I can see right away they are nothings. That's not to say anything like that happens very often. It's all about persistence and frequency, how often you ask and get coins. Halves are just not that common any more.
THATS A GREAT HAUL!! SO FAR TO DATE MY HIGHEST HAUL IS 366 SILVERS FROM ONE CUSTOMER DUMP !
That’s a haul too!
Congratulations Chris 🎉 that’s why we hunt. I’ve made sure my family knows what I have so that never happens here. Awesome score brother ❤️🔥
Right on brother! Thanks for watching!
I never miss an episode
Best thing I’ve ever seen come out of one of those envelopes
Congrats on a nice collection dump find! Scores like this are why coin hunting halves at banks is worthwhile. Just had my best find ever just a few weeks ago (268 silver halves, most were 90%).
Oh man! That's amazing. Huge congrats to you. I can't even imagine! That's gotta be up close to $2k in silver!
@@half_timeAbout $1760 at the current silver price. And, like you, it was at a bank that I dont have an account at!
@@jazznik2 Amazing. I’ve found banks are usually thrilled to hand off halves so they don’t have to count them each night or pay to send them back to the fed.
Wow! Congratulations! That’s amazing!
Still watching but this is absolutely amazing!!! Good for you on this massive score. Make sure you check all of those for DDOs, DDRs, and Bugs Bunnies (on the Benjis) Congrats! (fyi... even the 65-69 will have recognized DDO and DDR so don't just check your 64s)
I'll have to start doing that! Appreciate the tip. Thanks for watching and for your support. You do a great job and the channel is surging!
GASilverHunter, what are you doing here?!?!
@@SW99836 halftime is my buddy. 😀
Congrats brother. Nice score!
I always start but get disinterested and it's hard on my eyes since I don't have an easy way to view (Like a scope). Maybe I'd do it better if I had one. Should pick one up. Thanks for watching.
RFT has made a pit stop here!
Great hunt, Halftime!! It's been a while for a silver score like that. It was exciting to watch. Thanks for sharing. Coin-gratulations 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Very happy for you such excitement after dry spells
Awesome score, Chris!
That was a super great score. Over half the bag was silver and you got them all, icing on the cake. More than I figured. A huge congratulations. Hope in the future that bank has more. Good luck.
Thank you sir! Good luck on the upcoming streams!
Thank you.@@half_time
Totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice score my friend. Don't feel sorry for others ignorance.
Congratulations on your silver haul. My best random bank pick up was 4 customer wrapped rolls. Ended up with 58 forty percent Kennedy halves.
Oh wow! That's a great score!
Congratulations Chris . Amazing score. Thanks for sharing 😃👍🏼
Thank you, Fish! Hope you can get some more circulated boxes so you can have more fun too!
@@half_time thanks Chris 🙏🏻🍀
The banks around me (south bend, Indiana) basically all say that you must have an account to get coins, or in best case, they limit you to $100. Many say that this is a federal regulation.
They're yanking your chain. They may have some rules in the company though. There are definitely banks that don't do it around me too. But I've learned which ones typically don't and I don't even try them anymore. Many still will. In some cases they're thrilled for you to take them off their hands!
Great score!
That's an amazing find! Congratulations! That's why we do what we do!
Nice Sweet Silver Score
Great hunt!
Finally decided to get started yesterday, tried out three credit unions I bank with near me, got one roll from one that had a 90% ender, got 15 loose from another that had 4 40%s. Not a bad first go, definitely got me hooked. Cant wait to try again so im going to try three more banks today and maybe more tomorrow!
Great to hear it! Hope you continue to see success. Don’t be surprised if you go on some longer droughts.
Awesome video...thanks to G.A. silver hunter for putting me on to this ..love seeing great scores...congrats!!
Stuff like this is what makes me wish some luck would come my way! Great stuff man!
Keep trying! It takes time. It’s been close to a couple years since I’ve found anything remotely close. January 2022 I think.
@@half_time most "luck" I've had was pulling a 1906 Indian head from my 4th penny box ever. Truth be told, I carry that cent in my wallet as a good luck charm now.
Thanks for the video!
Congrats! That's a hellova haul there. Unfortunately I haven't found any local banks that will give half dollars unless you have an account with them. Hope to hit a score like this some day!
Sorry to hear that. In my travels, I've learned the ones who won't and ones who will. That helps. But I'd say I don't run into the issue too much.
@@half_time Yeah lol. I've actually opened 2 new bank accounts the past few months because of this.
May you continue to have good finds like this!
Great score, congrats!
Congrats Chris. Wow. That was quite the haul. Nice variety also.
Awesome Pick up Chris, I’m hoping one day I’ll be that lucky, you deserve it bro, just soak it in , Keep Stackin bro
You'll get there. Keep plugging away and you'll be rewarded.
Nice score
Great finds! I need that luck
Fingers crossed for you!
Last year my bank called and said someone brought in some "big silver dollars". I figured they were Ikes. There was 8 silver eagles, and 117 Morgan's and peace dollars. I got it all for face value. They said the guy found them in his attic and someone had said they were just dollar coins so he cashed them in.
That is unreal. Just an amazing haul. And it happens exactly like that. People just don't know what they have!
Awesome score! My best score was 74 Franklin halves from one of my credit unions!
Oh I bet you were stoked! Bet you could make a decently filled set with that many! Congrats!
@@half_time filled all but 9 spots in an album
Nice catch!
Thanks! Glad to see you back in action and in good health!
LIT!
GA is a great guy. Thanks for coming over and watching!
Congrats on your personal best score. I know what it feels like to come across a major score. I've had quite a few big scores over the last 35 years of road trips specifically searching for halves. If you remember, I left you a comment on a video of yours about 2 years ago and mentioned my personal best. 333 silver halves. Strange that is was that number, but 333 it was. It's such a rush to look and hold at all the silver coins when finding something like that. Congratulations again. Best wishes and good luck always.
Yes! Remember it vividly! :) Appreciate you. Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed sharing with you back then. Thanks Chris!
Folks do get hard-pressed for cash these days. I met an old gentleman at the bank who was gonna cash in the coins his father had from WWI service in Europe. Caught him before he could cash em in and made it worth his while
Good on you. Glad you could help him out!
me having never found a silver half before:
It'll happen!
Yeah, it's gonna occur eventually! 😊
That's a great find. What banks our best to get dollar coins or 50 cent coins from? I'm having a problem finding them
Thanks for watching. I've seen it vary between branch to branch under the same bank name. Just get to know some of your local tellers and ask if they'll order you some.
couple months back my teller gave me 195 dollars in 80% silver dimes this was in canada so
That's a heck of a score! Congrats!
That's 1950 silver dimes or 117 ounces of silver! You owe that teller a nice Christmas gift!
Wow, did you sort them by year? Any KG V in there?
So these came out of the coin counting machine?
Yup. I have a few branches I know that will do that for me if they have them. Saves them the money of sending it back to the fed.
Congrats! Do you just walk into banks asking if they have half dollars? And do you need to be a customer of the banks you ask?
That's exactly right. There are many I'm members of but some I'm not. Some will require you to be a member, others won't care. I personally find many don't mind if you take the half dollars of their hands because very few people want them and they get tired of counting them.
I am not a member of this particular bank I stopped at just fyi.
@@half_time thank you !
Great hunt!! But seriously, no preaching just hunt the coins
Lot of drug addicts steal collections from their parents and grandparents and go pawn them or cash them in at the bank.
Absolutely. Heard about something similar first hand from a former co-worker of mine.
@@half_time An employee of mine had his daughter snatch his lifetime collection of coins to pay off her meth dealer. He was distraught.
What kind of bank gives loose coins in envelopes, looks like a fake video to me 🤷
