I just spent the last 3 days going the JFK thread and the amount of silver found in rolls is ASTONISHING! I just ordered my fist box of halves and they are supposed to be in on Wednesday. I am starting to get antsy.
I feel my other crh was blinded by the guy that started me on pennies("If it ain't a wheat or indian, throw it back"). I want to do these right.
So I understand that all 1964 are 90%, all 1965-1970 are 40%. Correct me if I am wrong.
I also understand that any "S" mint is a proof coin that needs to be pulled out. Is this in regardless of condition, being proof strike, or is there silver in those?
Key dates:
78D
79D
81D
82P
82D
85P
93P
00P
Also, I need to be pulling anything 2003 and up, regardless of mint?
Any and all help is , as always, greatly appreciated.

You can pul NIFC but I might end up costing you a lot. Pull the gems and cull the rest. But what you plan to do so far is right.
Not sure about the "key dates", wait til others log on. But I don think there are really "key dates" in Clad JFKs except the 87D, which isn't even on your list.

rachums107 is correct. Add the 87-D to your list.
Are you searching for just silver or are you thinking about starting an album? I started searching Kennedy's for silver and now have a complete album. I'm still finding upgrades for the album now and then.
As for silver, you are correct. The 64 to 70 are silver. Also, there is a 76-S that is silver in both BU and Proof. And starting in 1992, there was a silver Proof minted. I personally never found any in circulation, but I think others have, so it's possible.
I think the NIFC (Not Intended for Circulation) started in 2002? I keep almost all that I find. Unless they are really beat up. I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet. But I still keep them. Keep anything that interests you. You can always take it back to the bank.
You may also think about getting a couple of books. Strike it Rich with Pocket Change and Cherrypickers' Guide. There is also numerous errors to look for.
Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Silver. I want a literal half ton in a sdb for retirement. I want to pull numismatic coins for resale to fund the habit. Anything else I am missing. Are S mint all proofs?

Sound like a good plan. Technically yes, all S mintmarks are Proofs. But there is a hole in the Dansco Album for a 1976-S 40% Silver BU that is not a Proof.  I forgot to mention earlier that I check every coin for a rotated die. These can be worth some money if you find them. The only coins that I have found that had rotated reverses turned out to be magician coins. Still worth more than 50c. |

Ok. Couldn't wait. Pick up 40 in cwr. No silver but an 81 D and an 85 P plus an 04, ?05,09,10. Not bad for 2 rolls. Do they have aany value over face?

The coins from the 80's don't hold any extra value IMO. Unless they are in really great shape. You may be able to unload the NIFC's on ebay. Your best bet is to check ebay for what has sold in the past. Quote:

I've been at this awhile and never heard anything about these dates being worth more than others. Can someone who is more numismatic knowledgable comment on this because I'm curious? Is there anything to these dates? Maybe hard to find in BU?

IMHO you are getting a late start. I quit getting boxes over a year ago; it just wasn't worth the time. That doesn't mean you can't get lucky once in a while. Some parts of the country seem to be better than others; the east and west coast are doing good,from what I have seen. I may get a couple boxes soon, and see what I can find. But.....GOOD LUCK in your endeavors.

Been back in the game since 2007,I don't keep anything but 40% and 90%, the S-mint proofs I've found many, I return them to the wild, although my LCS might pay 55 cents if they are nice.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

00P I dont think your going to get any premium for those coins from a box, dont even waste your time. The real keys to the kennedy series are any 1970 1992 and newer 90% silver proofs, some have less then 800,000 mintage. These are all silver and will command a premium in BU, especially some of those 90% coins. IV seen a few of the modern 90% pulled on this forum, but they are few and far between, and I dont know how much premium there is when they have been beat up through the coin machines and rolled in a box. Other real key dates are 1998 special burnish coin 1987 both mints The 2002 nifc coins, can be found easy, but hard to sell, unless you do your homework, and the profit is minimaI I wouldnt even keep them, unless they have hardly any bag marks, and sharp edges. I had 140$ worth, and was able to trade them to someone for a small premium, and he only kept about 90$ worth, I let the rest go. I saved them again, and just cashed in 340$ worth this weekend, I didnt trade them this time. I inquired about trading again, but I think "my guy" only needed certain years, so we never even made a deal. I cashed them in out of my area, I just pull them as a small savings, and tells me some new coins are mixed in with what I am searching. I'm not gonna say how he sells the nifc for profit, since he posts on this board, and I may trade with him again, but the way he does it, is probably the only way to make anything from the nifc. Impaired proofs I keep them all, and have 3 rolls of 1987, dont know what to do with them. I think the proofs could be traded at a coin show, or lcs, that has "grab bins" for kids to look through, and maybe get a premium in trade credit. All that being said, that leaves you with really not much else to look for besides errors, like the 1982 no fg.Errors is where its at besides silver coins. I dont check much for errors, just no fg's when I see the dates for them. So I suggest learning the DDO errors...etc. to look for, if you want to be finding other stuff besides silver. |
