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

Went through 2 boxes last night, here are my gleanings: 1 proof, some NIFC's got 2-2009's a P and a D, 1-210 and a 2012 plus a few earlier ones. One holed half, and one gold toned, wasn't plated; looks more like anodized, some of the toning is wearing off on the high spots so it is not a natural toning....any ideas what this is?

I throw the holed ones back, I pulled 5 out of one box, is there a market for them? I don't think so but I have never checked.

Depends on the coin

I got a twofer finding this one: holed and counterstamped. It makes a nice key ring and I always have it with me in case I have to explain silver coins to anyone I run into who asks.

That IS a cool idea for a key ring. Like the foreign coins, too.

I can't tell you how many foreign coins I've gotten from the
bank reject trays. My kid takes the funky looking ones. I've
actually given lots of Canadian coins to a friend from Canada
who goes home once or twice a year. Didn't have time to pick
up my halves box this week. Gives me more to look forward to
next week!

Actually, those look like old state sales tax tokens. But that is a cool idea for holed coins. I usually throw mine back, but anything silver, holed, counter-stamped, scratched, stickered, colored, stepped on, whatever, I would keep. Naturally.

They are Mississippi sales tax tokens.

I also keep all counterstamped, stickered, engraved, and unusually colored or surfaced halves. I may have to thin that collection out as I am out of space in my 2 8 page each Dansco albums I use for them.

5 boxes.

6 40%ers, some NIFC, a stickered coin, and a proof.

Got shut down for the first time today.

BMO bank by work told me they wouldn't take my change for free anymore. A month or 2 at work we got a letter that they were going to start charging business customers tons of fees to get cash and coin and to process checks cash and coin. I asked at my pickup BMO bank by my house and the head teller said yes they were implementing that policy. I will have to see on Friday if it is not being enforced across the board or if this particular branch just wanted me to leave.

Unfortunately since I have to work 6 days a week 3 out of 4 weeks a month I need this dump bank to get rid of my Friday pickup so I have enough for my pickup down the block from them on Mondays.

I had been planning on cutting back to $2K 3 times a week instead of $3K because I can dump $2K in one stop on my way home instead of having to break it up into 2 stops.
