GrapeCollects When you say people take a long time to fill up a roll, what kind of people do you mean? --Collectors or non-collectors? If you mean non, well I can't even imagine how a whole lifetime would be enough to fill a roll. When I said I never receive them in change, I didn't mention I've also worked in lots of retail and servise jobs involving cash, even waitressing for several years, and I don't think I ever received half dollars as payment or tips.

And if you have some keener insights, how about sharing them instead of just scrutinizing? Here you go.... Quote:
Do YOU regularly receive half dollars as change from stores? True, I rarely (basically never) receive halves in change from stores. Why are half dollars likely a whole other animal, collecting-wise? Quote:
customer rolls would tend to contain statistically higher numbers of older coins An assumption and conclusion on your part. I find Walkers and Franklin's quite frequently in bank and customer rolls. Quote:
coming from people who've just been jarring them a while An assumption. Quote:
But since hardly anybody uses halves then the only people likely to have enough unwanted halves to roll them up would be collectors, who have already sorted them for condition, key years and errors. False. Another assumption and conclusion. I have acquired "full" costumer rolls of 40% and 90% silver Kennedy's, Walkers and Franklin's (and one Liberty Head) over the years from banks, credit unions, grocery stores, casino's and other out of the way places.

And regarding half dollars, I am making a GUESS (far less pigheaded than an assumption) and based on facts, which I laid out. So you are making a "GUESS" based on facts? Nuff said. Edited by USSID18

what is a customer roll? A customer roll is when a bank customer brings in coins in rolls they filled themselves. Bank rolls are rolls generally wrapped by machine. Customer rolls:  Bank roll:  Edited by USSID18

USSID18 I could say a lot about what you're claiming but I think I'll just ignore your hostility like I should have in the first place.

There is no hostility here. You Kawliga are either misunderstanding or just being mean to other members. Please be nicer to other members Kawliga.

People here try to help you, we can not help it if you choose to consider truthful information as attacking you. Lighten up, life is too short to constantly be miserable with yourself.! |

Here's what a helpful, non-hostile reply would have been: "No, I actually have gotten customer rolls full of 40% silvers." --See how that would have given me information with no need to critique my post? Instead, critiquing was ALL he did. Yes he did say he's found the silvers in costomer rolls in a later reply, but mostly just defended calling my post assumptions and conclusions. I have had some AWESOME help from people in this community which is why I stick around. But those gem replies are a lot like coin roll hunting; relatively rare among a bunch of duds and outright uglies. What's especially funny is when somebody posts a question and multiple people post multiple slapdash answers without any reasoning to back them up, almost as if they were randomly-generated from a coin vocabulary bot. And they state these answers boldly, not "I think", or "Could be." So like if the person posted a possible error coin, and the next three people just say " DDD"......"MD".....and "Die clash" (and yes many just use the abbreviations which the poster may have no idea what they mean). What I always wonder is, if 3 people firmly believe 3 different answers, why don't they debate each other about it? After all we are talking about facts with evidence, not political opinion or anything, and the OP would learn something by watching the debate. But no, time and time again I see these random, short, pointless answers. With luck, that gem member comes along and gives an answer you could learn something from. Yes I'm new to coins. I've only been at it about three months but it's been an intense three months, because I don't pick up a new hobby lightly. My main interests have traditionally been in the natural world, and not that there isn't rudeness among those hobbyists too, but much rarer. When I imagine (say) a tropical fish forum, say a person explains why they think they were sold a same-sex pair instead of breeders, and they gave rationality why they believed that, I cannot even imagine someone just saying "No. You're making too many assumptions" and that's it. If they did, other members would check them on it, not tell the OP they have a bad attitude and don't want to learn. I mean, really? |

So back to the subject, why would a non-hobbyist have 20 or more half dollars, when we almost never get them by accident, only by actively seeking them (which is what hobbyists do)?

Also, keep in mind that many banks do not accept customer wrapped rolls, so any loose halves that are cashed in (by a collector or not) would more than likely end up being machine rolled in the future after being mixed with other loose halves.

You seem to have an active imagination, you should use it! I can't do it all for you but I'll try...... I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 baseball card. I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 hummel's. I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 hot wheel cars, I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 stamps, should I continue?.. Quote:
only by actively seeking them (which is what hobbyists do)? Wrong again. You don't have to be a hobbyist to have 20 half dollars. How about an inheritance? How about gifts? Have you tried silverwolf suggestion yet? |

My sister isn't a coin collector but when she came up from SC she brought a whole coffee can of them for me to look through (just were all clad circulated). My Dad wasn't a coin collector but for some reason when I cleaned out his room I found a full jar of them. My daughters mother worked as a nurse but for some reason she had a piggy bank full of them. I used to hate Kennedys but I somehow ended up with a ziplock baggie full of them (did take them to the bank to cash in). It's just like 2$ bills - non numismatists (your hobbyists) collect them because they are different. How many people who are not numismatists collect State Quarters? Same go with the Dollar coins. |
