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

Too bad about the coin shortage. I don't see brinks having it.

Something one of the banks I dump told me a possible reason for this. When they get rolled coin from customers, they keep them and give them back out... but when they get bagged coins, they're usually required to ship the coins off. My best guess is that these bags go to the main central deposit point and Brinks is the only vendor with access. This is just a theory, but it would explain why I usually have no problem getting coins from Wells Fargo (the only Brinks-affiliated bank in my area), but almost every other bank is a problem. Garda, in addition to Loomis, also services banks in my area.

Can't remember the last time I posted, it's been years.
Was pretty much forced to quit half searching because
some local was buying $15,000 in boxes and dumping
them back to the same bank, my bank, after deciding that
spray painting the coins would help his search efforts.
(Dumbest idea ever). Of course this doesn't work because
the armored service knows the coins are coming in from
roll hunters so they will rewrap and send out the same spray
painted crap every time. They go out of their way to make sure
this happens.

Must be at least 5 years since I've ordered half boxes, and
i am very friendly with the manager there. I assured her that
she would not get a single coin back from me ever. I got lucky
and found a nearby establishment that has a FREE coin machine.
So she is thankful for that. Anyways she has no problem ordering
me up to 10 boxes at a time, so here we go again.

I started with 8 boxes this week and came up with
only a '68 and '64. On top of those I pulled 7 full rolls of
perfect gem 2021d's and a couple rolls of 2018d's. As a bonus
i found 17 flawless gems between 1972-1996. I mean as fresh as
new mint rolls flawless. I know they are getting coins from the mint to help with the "coin shortage" but could they possibly be adding old mint sets as well? These came from unopened mint sets
or someones collection dump, either way I am stoked to get back
in the hunt, and silver is not the only treasure out there now.

Don't have a good camera setup but am working on that right now.
Will be posting pics soon, I hope.

BTW, anyone needing 2021d's I am always open for trades. Needing
2018p's and a couple other things. Good references from members if needed.

4 boxes today.

Here's the 2021d Enders from the 1st box.



Ended up with 14 full gem rolls of 2021d.
Again no silver. A couple bu proofs and a
roll of misc gems.

Made an effort last Tuesday only one bank produced and has in the past. Teller had $90 in halves. Every roll had between 2 and 8 silvers and 5 of the rolls had 7s and 8s. The only thing a little strange no 90%. I,ll take it.

Fantastic!

That amount of silver is crazy. Gotten any barbers yet?

WOW! Great finds cabowabo and Thomas21w!
