Where do you get all those halves? I'm fortunate to get a few rolls here and there. |

Many times you can order them by the box from your bank.
The only problem is getting rid of them. |

Then I would think any bank that orders them would be obliged to accept them. I've turned in single half dollar rolls. I just have never tried to order a whole box. |

Welcome to the forum baldiphoto, Nice finds. Wow, you found Frankie,s. You won't find no silver around my neck of the woods. It's a waste of my time to search Halves here. All you get is Clad coins.
