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

nice finds everyone, keep it up! I'm hoping for 4 more boxes this Friday myself.

It was a decision that I struggled with, but 4 weeks ago I stopped searching for DDOs. I found about 2 per week, on average, out of my six boxes. The demand seems so low though, that I just couldn't justify the time it took to sort out the years and then stick each one under the microscope. The hunt for DDOs is just too time-consuming and too boring for me to keep it up. I'd do it if sales prices were better, but it just doesn't seem worth it to me anymore. The first two weeks of not checking for DDOs were difficult. I felt like I was throwing back treasures; however, after those first two weeks I don't even think about it anymore. The searching is so much quicker now...all I do now is pull silver, proofs, and NIFC. I also check for missing initials, but only because that can be done in less than a second with the naked eye.

My total search time for 6 boxes is now about 4-5 hours. Previously, it took over 6 hours to sort, then many, many more hours of microscoping for DDOs.

I make a point to order from a Brinks bank and dump with only Loomis banks/credit unions. I may get somebody else's rejects, but I know I'm not getting my own. :)

Last four boxes for the week yielded me 2-40%ers, 1-67 and 169, Also had a 74 DDO Ender, for you odd makers That will be a tough one to figure out. Good Luck, Trapper and Jack nice finds. The week hasn't been too exciting 3 short of my weekly goal. Not complaining just don't like being short. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. If you are expecting more boxes before the end of the week. Best of luck to you!. Until Next Week!

74D DDO Ender

What area is doubled in the DDO variety? Can I see a close shot of it.

Thanks for the pointers. I'm not looking to buy, I just want a few examples for my collection.

I hate to throw them back but it's had to have much demand on a coin that is so easily found in the wild. As other's have said, it's not worth listing them one at a time, knowing I can't sell them in any quantity or for any real profit. I truly don't know how many I have but I'm sure it's a couple hundred, at least. I did start tossing some of the worse ones just before I quite hunting. I didn't find near as many 77d or 73d DDO's but they are more difficult to spot with the naked eye. I believe I also found a couple 1972P DDO's.

OO

I've had good interest in 74-D DDO when I have put up for auction in my local coin club. I've sold several in the $10-15 range. There are believed to be around 100,000 out of the entire mintage of the 74-D.
