JFK Half Dollar Roll Hunters: Silver, Proofs And Other Finds

I found some a couple months back. I don't know if I got both mints or if I announced it.

Everytime I say that I'm getting sick of doing this because of bad boxes I end up getting a good box a couple of weeks later. The way I figure it is that as long as I get one in a box, it is worth it. It's pretty easy for me to dump at a number of different banks around me, so I will keep it up as long as I keep finding silver!

GF, then why don't you say that every single day? I would :)

Ok here it is, I have occasionally asked my bank for any loose "different" coins, halves, whatever. They never had much, and I never really thought of going for a box of kennedys, but today I thought I would ask this other bank to see if they had any Kennedys for a whole ten dollars. They were very nice and checked for me right away. I went home and this is what I got :

1/ 64-D 90% !
1/ 64-P
& 5/ (count them 5!) 40%'s !( all before 1971 of course but I didnt write them down)

Not really bad for 1 roll I thought,
so,
I put together another $10 out of the rest and some more "go back" coins I had and returned to that nice little bank.
I said to the teller I would appreciate if she could check and see if they had any more Kennedy rolls and she said how many would you like? Well. I added $20 to the mix and got 3 whole rolls.
this is my final tally ( Includes the previous 5-40%);

64-0
1-65-P
2-66-P
8-67-P
4-68-D
6-69-D

I was real happy and thinking that I did about average for 30 bucks.....until I read these posts!! omg! I guess I hit a veritable jackpot! Somebody must have dumped their collection and I know it will run dry, but until it does the location of this little bank will remain a mystery! Sorry!! I do plan to go back and get what I can and I will update.
Well, this is just my "trophy" story (albeit not that grand)and I'm really thankful for it,
just as all of you share your great stories and keep us all inspired
to keep searching.! I certainly will!
PS Can somebody tell me what NIFCs are?
Thanks

The first box out of my 6 yesterday was pretty good
1-1951S
1-1954
3-1964
10-40%ers

Two other boxes had 6 more 40%ers
Three boxes were skunks

Had a pretty good week for boxes. Searched eight boxes and scored 110 in silvers including 25 90% coins. Must have hit the right spot on the pallet as it is the 2nd week in a row with some decent finds. Just goes to show you never know - it has been pretty slow with one or two every other box. I had to do a few road trips just to meet my months goal for August. My goals are for one roll of 90% and five rolls of 40% per month.

I'm hoarding and watching the daily prices of Silver Bullion to calculate what each roll( 90% and 40%) is presently worth daily.

Silver has been steadily climbing in the past week- its up from $14.00 and change to over $16.22 today- NY Spot Silver per ounce.!

Since I'm already retired, this is my part-timne job so to speak.(LOL)


*Great site for lots of Kennedy half info is https://www.kennedyhalfdollar.com
including current prices for rolls of 40% and 90% Halfs.*

I've been hoarding lately. I might move some if it gets over $20 or the SHTF. I've been selling other things I stumble on while searching for silver - 2009 cents, mint rapped halves. Nice to have a little nest egg that will likely hold its value.
