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

4 BOXES YESTERDAY

7,40%
1,90% a 1951S Benny

So much silver, so much jealousy

I haven't do this for a while (may be 4 yrs or so) since it was getting hard to get rolls.
May be I should get back in the game....

calfrope: I see that you live near Disneyland, I am not that far way either (there's one place near the I-5 that's great for catching the firework, I took my kids there a couple times)..... may be we can meet up for coffee....

Congrats Arby. Nice Silver Trapper and Mahgobbi.

My 10 boxes did not come in. All they could get was 4. Eventhough I don't keep the NIFC, I decided to keep track of my finds in case anyone else is keeping a tally. Here are the results:

Box 1:
Skunk for Silver.
4 03-P
2 04-D
1 04-P
1 06-P
1 08-P
1 10-D
1 13-D

Box 2:
1 90% (1964)
6 40%
1 03-D
1 04-D
2 05-P&D
2 07-P&D
2 08-P&D
1 15-D
I also pulled a 72-D that that looks Silver. It passed the tissue test and it weighs 11.6g. I have never heard of a 72 40% Silver. I'll do some more research. I have no way of doing a Specific Gravity Test and my hearing is bad. I don't hear the difference between Clad and Silver when dropped. I'm about 99% sure it's not Silver but I still want to do more checking before I just dump it.

Box 3:
Skunk for Silver.
1 82-S Proof
1 83-P no FG. Very rough condition (roller damage). Threw it back.
1 02-P
1 05-P&D
1 06-P
1 08-D
1 13-P&D

Box 4:
Skunk for Silver.
1 76-S Clad Proof
1 13-D

I have a standing order of 10 boxes with my Bank. The Manager said their coin supplier is having trouble getting more that 4 boxes a week. I think it's odd, but I'll play along for a while.
A side note about these last 4 boxes, they didn't contain the large number of previously searched (marked) coins. The ones that were marked had different markings from what I normally see. May be nothing. But I did notice it about half way through box 2.

Good luck to every.

I ran across a previous thread regarding the same 72-D possible Silver. https://goccf.com/t/191693&whichpage=1

I am currently looking into an easy SG testing machine. If there is such a thing. If it becomes a lot of trouble, I'll just put it in a 2x2 and store it for a later date when I have more time. I may be having hip and back surgery soon. I'll need something to do while recovering.

Edit: I don't know why I didn't think about it before. It failed the magnet test. Oh well.

CC110, congrats on the '65! I've found only a few of them in my 3-years of CRH-ing.

Murphy, sorry to hear about the '72-D not being silver, but your other finds were decent. I hope your bank is able to keep getting boxes from their coin supplier. I was certainly disappointed when things changed where I live and my banks could no longer get boxes, so I do not wish it upon anyone.

nice job to those finding silver! I ate some clad today, 4 more boxes of skunksville. hoping next week will improve.
