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

Morgand22, the 87P is a NIFC coin, the mint didn't put that year into circulation so they are difficult to find. I have pulled 9 out of 277,000 coins searched. The 74D DDO is easier to find

3 boxes left over from yesterday.

The S & S box had a 1964 ender.

The 2 Loomis boxes had 25 more NIFC.

I stopped at a bank that I know always has a box on hand. They said they only had $350 left from the box. I opened it on the counter to verify that there was $350 in it and spotted an ender. I took the box and had to rim search it in the parking lot because I needed the fund to pick up 4 more boxes. Only found the 1 40%er.

4 boxes this morning.

5 40%ers, a 1964, and 2 NIFC.

Went to dump them and the bank said their counter was broken. I had to drive 20 miles roundtrip earlier in the morning to go to a dump bank so as not to wear out my weekly in town regular dump banks. I didn't want to have to go to one of them so I headed to the hood. I didn't know the banks hours but hoped they were still open. I got there at 12:58 and they close at 1. Then the machine jammed.

Today would have to be the longest and most problematic day I have every had roll hunting.

the new gold 50th anniversary Kennedy half is going to make all of us double check those gold plated finds from now on! LOL

3 rolls earlier and got me an 88-D and 82-P. one step each closer to finishing those rolls. Why can I never find foreign in a half roll?

I think sometimes these counterstamps must come from some class on metalwork where they tested the stamping technique on a coin in some class before using the actual thing they wanted to stamp. So many that are just so odd not to be the case since it doesn't "ruin" the coin from being money to stamp it. Both the moon and the 1 look like stock stamps, not like anything made specially for counterstamps, to me.

4 boxes today pulled 1-68 out of box 3. There was nothing else at all. I always say one is better than nothing. On my way to dump and pick up another 4 boxes. A couple weeks ago I was finding those green marked coins that I am very use to seeing, well I marked a few with a blue X on top of the green stain, this morning I found three of them in these four boxes. So I know I am seeing a lot of the same coins I have searched before, the good thing I still am finding silver. I dump these coins at my credit union and they are making their way to my bank I pick up from, their boxes are different and the color on the rolls are different too. I have pulled eight pieces of silver for the week and my goal is ten per week, so I am on track with four more boxes to open.
