I Am New To Half Dollar Roll Hunting.

Hi Guys-

I am basically an ancient coin collector. Collected US as a kid. I stack silver.

Years ago, I often pestered my local bank for half dollars looking for silver. About three years ago I was inside for business and asked and was told that someone had not picked up a box of $500 and did I want them. I did not know you could order boxes! I found several 40% and a scratched proof commemorative. Not worth the effort.

Via YouTube I recently discovered Variety Vista and the new hobby of varieties and errors. I picked up my first box of halves today. No silver. I did find one 2010P in low MS and a dinged up 2003 proof. I first divided them into generations. About 1/3 were from the 1970s. Then went back through and pulled out the culls. About 10% were obvious culls mostly from the late 1980s to early 2000s- looked like they had been run through slot machines.

I have not yet gone back through looking for varieties but did find this- I think it is a lamination error- while culling. Pic attached. Is this the new normal for these boxes? I did order another box. Will take about two weeks.

Later-
