    Good. Whenever I`m at the bank, I ask for a couple of rolls of halves, just to look through them. I usually find a few.

    Finding silver half dollars is really just a matter of chance. Personally I’ve searched 2 boxes. The first box had 7 40% clad the second box had 2 clads. People on the coin forum I use (http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/default.asp) have found over 20 in one box while others have come up empty handed.

    It all depends on what people turn in to the bank in your area and how many are doing the same thing as you are.
