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

spotco;

you found someone's dump, unfortunately!

But, I would have done the same thing; bopught them, because you never know.

A bank in my area which always seems to be someone's dump I bought 28 rolls recently and found (can't remember the exact amount, but I'm pretty close) something like 30 40%. I've had terrible luck with boxes lately; but been hitting the jackpot with customer rolls. Guess it depends on where you are! I'd love to be able to get my hands on the coin bags that come out of the counting machines that some banks have. Saw a bank changing a half dollar bag the other day; boy did I want to look at that bag, but the bank associate told me that corporate wouldn't allow it; the bag was off to the Fed

I concur with everyone else, you bought someones dump. But hey, if you had fun, why not. You never know when you will find that one time it is not a dump.

I have never found anything in a customer wrapped roll of halves. Too many halve hunters in my area, they are always someone else's dump.

Then again, I just finished searching the box I bought yesterday, another skunk. That's 2 in a row. A lot of good ordering boxes is doing me...

BofA wants to send my deposit out for "verification" before they will deposit the funds. Jeeze give me a break I have been a customer of theirs for 20 years. I think I will put an extra half in one roll and see if they give me credit for it.

went through another box yesterday. 2 x 90%, 1964 and 6 x 40% 1966-1969 No NFIC

My boxes generally get 1-2 silvers. I would love to get 4-6.

Man, I get 2 skunks in a row, and average less than 10 per box and you score 97 of them. What's wrong with this picture...

Sweet score!

95 40% - that is definitley the dream box.

I made my way through a few boxes this week and did pretty good. I pulled:

40 - 40%
9 - 90% (5 Bennies and 4 Kennedys 1964)

I find it so interesting that I find more Bennies than 1964 JFKs. I know, I know, they were hoarded, over the counter sales etc., it still wows me none the less.

The best part is I have some more boxes under my desk waiting to make it through right now! It is going to be very hard to not go through them this weekend, I am giong to save them until Thursday and go through them with my parents.

Also, on a side note, I was picking them up today, and this teller says, "Yeah, I collect silver coins, and old coins too." She then proceeds to tell me about the Silver Certificates, Red Seal 2 dollars she has pulled. Then, she goes in her drawer and pulls out a 1934 series $100 dollar. I asked her to let me buy it but she turned me down. Then she points to her supervisor and says she collects coins too, so much for loose silver there.

On the upside she did say she would try and find me a $100 of my own, and to "Come back anytime if I want more boxes." - Now gentlemen, that is what I call a relationship to foster.

And on a final note, I wanted to share this image with all of you. You know it is giong to be a good roll when you see this:



Happy Hunting!!
