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

Due to a little misunderstanding at one of my pick-up banks, I ended up with half dollars instead of nickels and so I got 3 rolls, which was all they had. Didn't expect anything special from so little, but I got this beautiful 40%er.





I should ask for halves more often

Yeah, I really wish I could get a few boxes everyday, but being in a small town with a limited number of banks it's just not possible. When I started roll searching halves I checked with at least two other banks and they wouldn't order halves for me. Also with only having one dump bank I don't want to overload them to the point that they won't take any of my dumps. I guess I'll just have to keep at my 6 boxes per week, take what comes out of them and be happy.

That one find probably made it worthwhile.

Nice finds, trapper.

Well worth the trip.

Last week I found 27 silvers coins ( 25-40%, 2-90%) and this week I found 17, (15-40%, 2-90%). One thing I have started doing now that I should have been doing a few months ago is keeping count of the amount that the coin counter says I'm actually putting in. I really started doing it because every time I use it I always get others coins in there.( my tickets tells me what coins I put in th machine and how many). Last week I seen that it said I put 3 $1 coins in it. I'm guessing it is where someone put there coins in there and didn't let it finish. Anyways I nearly always get something. I just got all of last weeks took back today and I kept $13.50 but the amount according to my totals says I kept $12.44. So I made a little over a $1. That's better then my saving account interest!! Does anyone do this and does your coin counter always come up with other coins that you didn't put in there?

nice looking old walker there!

arby, good luck on those loomis boxes. Trapper, nice haul, 2.5 pieces is a nice average.

my day turned into a 15 hour work day yesterday, so I picked them up today. I will open them later. The last box had a 40%er ender showing.

Good luck to all. Oh, and I am lucky that my machine does not short me on my halves :-)

Second four boxes for the week okay, only one box skunked, I pulled 1-64, 2-65, 1-66, and 1-67, also a 2010 Clad Proof. Still have another four boxes tomorrow which are also loomis and the same bank as last weeks score. Keeping my fingers crossed. Mag congrats on your silver finds. Don't worry too much about those coin counters, Betro has it nailed, sometimes you will get shorted and sometimes you make money on your dumps, as long as its not always short and you are pulling silver you are making a profit. You do this long enough one can look at their rolls and tell if there are a couple rolls short of 10 dollars, I had two today and I could tell before I even opened the roll. Its part of the adventure. Keep Stacking!
