I'm in a black hole for halves, only tried a few boxes over the past year, I got a 1968 a while back, that was the oldest so far. The newest I've found is a 2001. today I picked up 2 rolls for the heck of it and got this...   2000 S, it's toned worse than the picture shows and it's not silver but heck I'll take it. |

Is there anyone CRH in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?
I have gone through 9 boxes in the last 2 weeks and have only 1 40% to show for it.
Was just wondering if the area is mined out or just a dry spell?

2 boxes today. 7 gold plated, 2 silver plated, 1 BB gun, 1 electric engraver, and 3 40%ers. I think the plated ones were someone's science project or something as one of the silver plated is a casino coin with all of the reeding peened off of it. If a company was doing it and selling them I would hope they would have at least used decent donors first.  |

Littlebirdy8 - not in Texas area, but 1 in 9 boxes is not unheard of at all. heck, some peoeple would kill for 1 in 9 boxes if on a 24 box dry spell.

@Jack Jackal,
Your post on the ANACS graded halves struck on quarter stock was very helpful. If I recall correctly, I have at least one nice one which meets this category. I knew the weight was different, and it felt different, but I would never have thought it to be on quarter stock.
Now I will have to go and retrieve it.
Thanks for the post.

If the two I have turn out to be the quarter stock type, I will post a picture of them.
Once again, thanks for the information. I was not aware of this type of error before your post.

@alanmx6 Those marks looks like a box I found last year dated 2008. Where are you located?   |

Montana here and I have found so many marked halves it's not even funny... but...  $150 in halves, from the same bag as the 2000-S, no one else seems to be hunting in my area now. I only wanted a few rolls last week but he had to get a whole $500 from the vault. The teller I got them from sold them to the other tellers and spread them out, so when I got them a few hours ago, this teller had to buy them back from other tills. And this Boys and Girls is how you get an ounce of silver for $1.75  , the only premium is gas and time. I still think I'm coming out ahead. 2 dimes= 0.1447 troy ounces of silver in 2 silver Roosevelt dime2 1964 JFK Halves= 0.7234 troy ounces of silver in 2 silver 1964 Kennedy half dollar1 1965 JFK Half= 0.1479 troy ounces of silver in 1 silver 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollarSo that is $1.70 for .9436 ASW... but the funny thing is... .0564 is what I'm missing to make up a full ounce and by a weird coincidence there is 0.0563 troy ounces of silver in 1 silver War Nickel. I still have not gotten a War Nickel this year (some nice buff's thou) but ONE more silver find puts me over an ounce for the year and it's not even 1/12 done  1964 1964-D 1965 |
