Great Roll Find

Good for you Danny.

I have never found a proof coin in my life, and you found 10 of them!!! Go figure.

I've searched about $500 worth of half dollar rolls and average about 1 40% silver a roll. I've also found a few 90%'s and 1 walking liberty (not in great shape). I couldn't believe it. Since I'm fairly new to coin collecting I did some research and heard about the proof halves. I rechecked all I had and found a 2001S & a 1997S. It's been about a year but the feeling of finding those is still awesome!

Great find!
I guess I should be spending more time searching rolls.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Wow, awesome finds! Finding proofs in rolls must be awesome! Could you post pics of some of the proof ones? Awesome finds.

I'll do my best to post pictures of my S halves. I've never tried to take pictures of my coins but this might be a good chance to learn. I don't have a scanner so I will try to take a picture with my digital camera tomorrow.

I would guess the rolls I got here returned to the bank by someones spouse that the other had passedaway or someone stoped collecting. becuase I also found 2003-2005 in there which is very hard to find.
but about 8 of the half I would say had a deep cameo look they were the finsh was very sharp and shiny. and the other two were preaty dole looking. I ma sorry the ones I got I can not post picture of since I gave then to my boss at work for a good price. I sold them for 1.00 a piece whick I might of got alittle more but I alway sell stuff to him for cheaper since I am still working on him to start collecting. he is just a someone who buy a item here or there that intersest him or might be a good investment in the future. I also had to sell them to break even on my rolls. I had 100.00 in halves and my wife said I had to return 100. to the bank since I was just seaching for some weekend fun. so I need to make 5 more dollars to replace the ones that went itno my album or used for trade.

I hope to be able to get a some more roll in a few weeks. the only problem is I got all the rolls from my many back I like to get them from. so I hope they will have some new ones by then. if not I my get a box of nickels and do them just to make a list of my finds. but I like halves since I no if I get a 40% I cna take it to the local dealer and get 1.50 for it right then or 4-5 dollar for a 90% so who nows.

Have fun thomas_z71 searching those rolls. don't give up if on the first 200 you don't find silver start a set or Kennedy if you haven't already and get more rolls. I have search close to $1000 in halves before I got this good of a rolls. the last one I found were 3 rolls of 40% silver rolls. so don't get doen if you don't find anything your fisrt tiem.

Got another 5 rolls of halves from a different bank, in the first roll found a 73 D that has a double image of "half dollar" on the reverse side. It appears to be a double die slightly shifted to the left allowing for the right side of each letter to appear underneath. Tried to take photos and scan but camera doesn't have a macro setting, will borrow on Tues and post a pic, will also list on error site to see what I can find out about it. I am not familar with these sort of things so I don't know how common this is.
