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

6 boxes into my 12 box marathon and notable finds are about 1 roll of NIFC including a worn 1987P, 1 gold plated 2004, my first 1974D DDO, and a bicentennial with a Cud on the reverse...Not much, but better than nothing.

When I picked up the 12 boxes the teller told me not to expect silver because Loomis removes it. His words are correct so far. I'll get through the other 6 boxes by late tomorrow, so I'll report back then.

Loomis does not remove anything, almost all the silver I find is in Loomis rolls. I think they are trying to discourage you. My experience is to not order more than 3-4 boxes from the same branch or they get tired of seeing you.
That has been my experience.

Same thing has been said about Brinks. When I first joined this forum I read through this whole thread and there were several mentions of Brinks pulling silver from circulation. One of my banks get their deliveries from Brinks and is the one I order 4 boxes from per week. One of those boxes from either December 2015 or January 2016 had 70 or 80 something pieces of silver (I don't remember) and most if not all were 90% (again I don't remember whether there was any 40% or not). Almost every week I pull one or more pieces of silver from Brinks boxes. I think most of these types of rumors probably get started by bank tellers that don't want to handle large amounts of coins on a weekly basis. I don't know who services my other bank, but there are only 4 banks in town, and I did see a Gardia armored car in town Thursday which is the day they get their delivery, so I'm suspecting that may have been their delivery. I know at least one of the other banks in town get their delivery from Brinks. Guess I could have followed them to see if that's where they went since they were only a couple miles away from the bank, but I didn't want to do anything to make them suspicious of me.

Traded a roll of 90% Kens for roll of 90% quarters. Very satisfied with my trade.

2 boxes left from Friday.

Box 1 had 1 40%er.

Box 2 had a 1964.

Also found some NIFC and a Magicians coin.

5 out of 6 boxes this week each has a silver which is a good sign.

berto, sorry to hear you didn't score any silver out of those boxes, but I still doubt they are pulling silver at some locations and not at others, as some have mentioned finding silver in Loomis boxes. We all know it's luck of the draw as to whether there will be silver in our box(es) or not. All you can do is try again when you can and hope for the best. Knowing you're in an area that's well picked for silver, I'm pulling for you to get a monster box, but only if I can have one too!!

I get mostly Loomis boxes and my biggest hits in 2015 were Loomis
