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

There are plenty of people that weigh their rolls as they check them. It doesn't work as consistently as you would like once you throw in 40% silver halves, worn halves, extra or missing coins, or even just regular clad halves that are on the extremes of the accepted Weight Tolerances.

Just finished 5 boxes today and 4 were skunks I pulled 1 walker 41D and 2-40%er, 67 and 68, 4-NIFC and 1-Diez Pesos. I also pulled another Obama sticker coin, So not a great start to the week. Can't reach my goal with these numbers. While I made my dump this morning I heard the sound of silver fall into the tray, I had missed a 66 in my last search and almost dumped it back into circulation. Hope you all have good luck.

Just finished going through my most recent box and the only decent coin I found was a 2010 d that I needed for my collection. Very few other NIFC's and way to many bi-centennial coins

That's a lot of proofs, skidib!

Had an awesome day today, searched 4-boxes which two were skunks but the other two boxes yielded me 9-90%ers and 63-40%ers, 2-NIFC, 1-74S Clad Proof, 1-87P & D, Here is the breakdown, 1-36 Walker, 3-Franklins, 52D, 58D, and 63D, The 58D is a GEM with FBL, 2-64, and 3-64D, 7-65, 9-66, 27-67, 12-68 and 8-69. Check out the 58D Pic. All of the enders had multiple silver coins in the rolls, one had 8. Enjoy the pics. I hope they keep you all motivated.

Awesome Enders

Awesome Day "LOVE THE HUNT!"

Arby95,

Vey nice haul there for four boxes. I never had such a good find.

To those who weigh their rolls, I have done this before but the results have been mixed at best. For me, almost pristine 1972s were often false triggers. Also, I noted that weights varied based on vendors. You needs to experiment with each type of vendor and get a feel for the weights.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks everyone, Kenscott, I really believe if you don't give up you will hit a good box, its a numbers game. I am very fortunate to be able to purchase 4 boxes at a time. If you can search them and turn them quickly you can do approximately 12 boxes a week with the same money just adding what you pull out. I don't know how much longer this will last, I thought by now I wouldn't see numbers like that again and it keeps happening. If it can happen to me I know it can happen to anyone. I wish you all the best of luck, I now need 71 to reach my next goal before the end of the year. I have a chance the next two weeks, I have a recurring order with my banks and that should come out to 24 boxes before the end of the year if they don't forget to order. 4 pieces of silver a box average would do it. We will see what happens. Happy Hunting!
