My First Order Of JFK Halves.

I need you to search for me

I have to agree with the earlier post on this thread that customer rolls are the way to go. I went to yellowpages.com and listed out all of the banks in a 25 mile radius of where I live and printed them out. In the little space to the right of the listing on the printout I put the date I last checked that particular bank and the results of the check. Always sit and call the banks first; saves you a lot of driving! Ask for the teller area when you call; many non-tellers in the banks will assume that they don't have any halfs and tell you they have none. I try to call each bank at least once a week; that way they get to know you (ALWAYS be pleasant on the phone with them, even if they sound annoyed at your asking and say they have nothing) and I have gotten to the point where a few banks have asked my name and they call me when they get some in. I also have marked off the list banks that I know have tellers that look for silver themselves; this of course saves you time. Since the first of August I have found 311 40% silver halfs and 53 90% halfs (including two rolls of Franklins at a little branch that has nothing but a drive-thru). Good Luck; the stuff is out there!

Like I said, I must have been extremely lucky! I was opening roll after roll in the productive box and sometimes had 3-4 40% coins per roll! I could not believe it. I wonder why this box was so productive? I won't question it. I guess I will be grateful and enjoy the moment! Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see your finds.

haha
i wish but unfortunately they do not deal with the public

And that's exactly what I did through the advice of someone here. I'm not completing a JFK set, I just wanted the silver.

Oh, like me, you probably already have a complete set?

jbuck, I never got into these. My friend in Las Vegas collects JFK's. I'll give him first dibs then might offer some to our members here in the sell forum. I think he just needs a few.
