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

Stopped at a local bank on Saturday, where I've luck before. The teller ask around to 3 other ladies for halves. The drive up window had $10 loose. She brought them over saying, 'these look old'. They must have been sitting in a drawer for 40+ years, as they were tarnished.

17--1964-D
1--1964

The first time I went to this bank, she was very happy that I took 13 rolls she had. I was equally happy with the 25 40%'ers.

Morgantype:
I know what you mean about the Coin Star machines. I never pass one by without looking in the return tray. Better than looking in a pay phone when I was a kid. Now, try to fine a pay phone!

I got 3 40% and 1 90% from about 150 in rolls from wamu. Unfortunately I found a teller with about 10 dollars worth of silver halves and sheshut me down. I did manage to talk her out of 1 but she had anice stash. The is the third time this has happened to me. What luck, I would rather e ignorant.

Morgantype:

Tellers should just count money.......not study it!

Picked up $50 in halves today from a branch I hadn't been to in many months.

Totals: 10 40%, 3 90% (doubles my 90% total for the year!)

I'd like to get to 100 40% by the end of the year all from customer-wrapped rolls. Looks like I'm going to need to go through about $500 more to get there, which will be a challenge for customer-wrapped rolls.

Stopped by another branch of my bank. I turn in my $50 in nickels and the teller says "Are you interested in other coins". Of course I say halves. She says, I have $200 in halves a guy just brought in a couple days ago. I figure what the heck. Go out to the car with $50 in halves. I notice that the rolls look older, but think surely these are dumps.

Open the first one and get 3 silver. A few more in that first batch and I decide to get the rest. I only had $110 available in my account, so I withdraw that. That left $40 left over, the teller was nice enough to let me search those at the counter, where I get several more silver.

I go back out to my car, and after a few more rolls, I open up one to find a full roll of silver, including 3 WLH, a couple of Franklins, a few 64's and the rest pure silver!

My find:

1941 WLH
1942D WLH
1945D WLH

1954 Franklin
1960 Franklin AU
1961 Franklin XF
3x 1963 Franklin 1 XF 1 AU

17x 1964

1965
2x 1966
12x 1967
2x 1968D
8x 1969D

Total 26 90%
25x 40%
plus 4 SBA's

I was so excited, my heart was beating sooo fast when I got the full roll. I asked the teller to let me know if the guy brings in anything else.

So in the past couple of weeks I got this and almost 2 boxes of wheats! Wish I had more money to do this with. (I had to turn in $110 in halves to my main branch to get the money bank in the account)

I moved through a batch recently:

I pulled 12 40% and 5 90%. Also, a 2008 P which I needed for the Dansco. All in all a good haul, but not as good as the luck I was having!

Happy hunting!
