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

3 boxes today.

3 NIFC, 1982 no FG, 1982 no FG with polished off seriff 1, a 1964, and 7 40%ers.

The box with the ender had 5 40%ers.

nice work on the DDO.

Thanks guys...

So I gave in to my numismatic nature and could not work on the book more until I did the last box that was sitting there.

Boy am I glad I did! It even made me get the camera out and take pics. So I got a bunch of pics from other finds I have made also.

The two recent 1972 DDOs were amazing - but talk about icing on the cake...

I sat there for at least half a minute just staring into the microscope and was waiting to wake up from the dream. I got one I never expected to find since generally I see only one or two of this date/MM in a box - if that.

When these show up on ebay, they generally go for a pretty decent price...





SHHHH! I might wake up!




So, here are some pics of some of the other finds - a set of pics from the second 72 DDO did not come out right, but here is a pic of the first



Here is one of several die clashes (dates 94, 83, and 71D) - two of the 83s are as nice as the following (and so is the other 71-D):



Other finds:
two 72 D no FGs; 73D RPM; 71D - 3 possible RPM - will post pics in the help section sometime to let people who know more than I do tell me or not; two 84 D RPMs; two 83 No FGs; three 83 M.A.D.s; two 71-D M.A.D.s; 2001 D M.A.D.; and three (one poor shape) 94 die clash having spikes off of JFKs nose and on the REV the eagle must be molting b/c there is an extra raised device under his tail feathers:











Had more pics - but after loading they do not show up?

These pics were deleted.
1981 Cud
1977D No F in FG (listed)
1973 D no F in FG
These last two have absolutely no trace of an F

OK possibly no more rolls for awhile now...


But what a ride its been

Great finds, nice pics of the DDO'S and Die clashes.


"BIG" Congrats on that 77D DDO!

Still looking for my first.

4 boxes - 7 40s and 3 90s pretty good numbers this week

4 boxes of beat to crap junk today.

Another Jims coins electric engraver, 2 proofs (1 ender), a few NIFC, an obverse planchet flaw, and while turning 2 blocks away from home I saw a socket in the street. I told myself "Hey, it might be a Snap On or a Mac or I'd even settle for a Matco or Cornwall." No such luck.

At the least the guy in Norway that I traded my Rolex Datejust case and dial to that I had paid $150 for 10 years ago got it today so I can finally wear the 3 month old Seiko Orange Sumo on bracelet ($500+ value) he traded me since the deal is done.

6 box total from yesterday and today: 8, all 40%.

1-1972P DDO- not sure if this one is the 72P DDO-001 listed on Coneca and in the Cherrypickers Guide- 5th Edition Vol 2, pg320.

The doubling on this coin, especially on the I in "IN", appears to be different and there is a die-crack/break? by the T in LIBERTY that's not on any 72P DDO-001's that I have.

I've sent an E mail to DR Wiles along with pics for his expertise/ opinion and possible submission for attribution etc.

Here are the pics- opinions also welcomed, especially if anyone also has a 72P 1 DO-001-

Mind checking your coin/coins for the doubling/marker omparisons also.

Thanks,

Chuck.
