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

Another rotten box finished. 10 in a row without silver, and this one only had 1 NIFC worth keeping. There was one other NIFC, but some idiot had taken a sharp instrument and left several deep scratches across the obverse. Two more Brinks boxes and two fed boxes to go this week. I'm only one box from tying my all time record for silver skunks. Sure hope this soon ends.

Last four boxes for the week, 1-67, a real nice 86P and one of those plated Kennedy anniversary coins Blah. Don't give up RCOOK some silver will find its way to you! How do you find a Capped Bust in a coinstar machine? Was it in coin return bucket? I had a chat with one of the managers I deal with and she asked me if I wanted the foreign coins that fall into the overflow bucket of their coin machines? Of course this is after she already threw them away,she said she throws them away all the time lol she told me would save them for me from now on? I never thought about asking for them? We will see what happens. One never knows might be lucky to get some silver from that too. Hope you all have a great weekend. Keep up the Hunt!. I want to find a capped bust! What are the odds?

2 boxes today 1 64-D.

Just tied my longest skunk streak of 11 boxes without silver. At least there were 10 NIFC that were in pretty nice condition in this box.

Jack, I've already found well over (100) 2015 P&D's. Every week for about the last month or so I've been getting them.

My back is hurting pretty bad (chronic back pain) so I think I'll call it a night. Hopefully I'll feel like doing another box or two tomorrow. I know my luck will change sooner or later, I'm hoping it's soon. I've already opened box 4, no enders.

I just placed an order for halves in a state I'll be vacationing in soon. I called the same branch and coin vault manager as last year. Last year she was totally accommodating, so I was hopeful she would still be working there in the same position. She answered the phone and it blew my mind when she instantly remembered me! She was 100% genuinely pleasant and helpful again...what a treat. There is another lady in a branch in a neighboring town who is the complete opposite, so I know how negative attitudes can affect our hobby. I hope you all experience positive folk in your area! HH

I thought that too, RCook, but here I am at 57 boxes in a row without silver. I gave up, though I secretly want to try three more just to make it an even 60 if it gets that high.

RCook, I'm sorry to hear you're not finding silver. I'm up against the same where I live, so I have given up. Now I search only when I travel to other states for vacation. Perhaps you should mark a box or two of coins so you can track them and know how many coins you've already searched are recycling. Best of luck whatever you decide.

That stinks
