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

that commem trapper, I dont think I have seen that one before, nice find!

the d mint is a business strike with a mintage of only 163,753. superbly hunted!

1969 D from two boxes. Send those boxes this way, Trapper.

4 boxes from my regular Friday pickup.

1 40%er and a proof.

I stopped at my in case of emergency bank as they usually have a box but they only had $440. I took it and there was a 1964 ender. Ended up with 2 1964's and a 40%er.

Stopped at an out of town bank today that I've had good luck from in the past picked up 5 rolls got 1 1968 and filled 2 empty holes in the album

Nice finds!

Yakima, if you can find CWRs at banks in your area, then I'm confident they'll produce more keepers than boxes on a per $500 searched basis.

nice job everyone, its always nice finding stuff. Jack, are the dump bank issues resolved? seems like you might be doing some more boxes, not sure though.

yakima, keep trying, you never know. I have not had any luck with CWR, mostly because I cant find them. you need to do a decent sample of boxes to get an idea. Definitely keep trying and see what you can find. Once you find something, then you'll be hooked :-D

8 boxes for this week, for 8 40%, and 1 1964, which was of course an ender. 6 skunk boxes. nice to add to the stack. waiting for a breakthrough week.

Yaki, if you can afford to buy more than one box a week do so if the bank will order them for you and you can arrange a dump bank. I'm doing 6 boxes a week, last week 5 of the 6 were skunks. Also if you're getting more than one box and you hit a large silver vein it's likely to carry over into more than one box. It's all a numbers game, the more you search the better your chances of striking silver. If you can find customer wrapped rolls or loose coins at a bank your success rate will probably be better than in company wrapped rolls. Since I've started searching rolls I've probably got less than 2 rolls of loose halves, but have found a 90% Franklin in those. Last week out of 300 rolls of company rolled halves I got 3 40%. Since I started roll searching about 1.5 years ago I've had 3 boxes that contained 20-30 oz of silver each and each time I think the silver has carried over into more than just one box. Those 20-30 oz boxes don't happen often, but they sure are nice when they do show up! All 3 of mine were near the Christmas holidays, 1 I think in Jan. 2015, 1 I think in Dec. 2015, and the other I think in Jan. 2016. If you can't afford to buy more than 1 box all year especially try to get more around the Christmas holidays, apparently some people cash in collections for holiday gift money. I picked up 4 boxes yesterday and need to pick up 2 more either today or tomorrow.
