Penguin does, but it's approximately $20 per roll, which is a dollar per coin.
The OP was asking about ways to get them without paying premiums.

Are you unable to get them from the bank? If you go to the teller they generally are able to order in denominations that they may not normally carry.

Go to your bank. I bartend and I got a few rolls of half dollars to give out as change. Plus now I get tipped back those same coins plus gives me stuff to do magic with. Ring in a folding half.

So the US Mint wants nearly an extra quarter for each half dollar you acquire from them?

How is it even legal that a fifty-cent piece of legal tender, fresh from the government who made it (and officially declared and labeled it as worth exactly fifty cents) actually costs nearly seventy-five cents — just because it comes straight from its source, instead of from somebody’s pocket or cash register?
