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

Those are still better than peanuts!

Just finished up 10 boxes today, 1-66, that one 66 kept away me getting skunked for a whole week, taking the next week off sure hope the week after next is not the week I get skunked, still seeing a bunch of coins I have marked, from Aug, and Sept. I also rescued a 88S Clad proof.
The worst part of the day was one of my boxes was 3 rolls short so that was a slap in the face. Wishing you all the best of luck, hope silver finds its way into all your boxes. Looking forward to seeing all the posts of great finds.

Another week that got me more than my 1 oz. weekly goal. 6 boxes turned up 11 pieces of silver, all 40%. Also got a 1982P no FG and a 1981S clad proof. 2016 year to date silver 147.8405 troy oz. Arby way to go on pulling that one piece of silver and preventing a skunk week. I know we all like to pull more than that, but there have been several weeks this year that 1 piece of silver kept me smelling sweet for the week. This year has been a much better year than 2015 for me. In 2015 I think I had 2 or 3 double digit skunk streaks. Good luck to everyone in the coming week.

2 boxes from Tuesday.

1 40%er, 1 proof, a couple of NIFC, and a trashed 1974D DDO.

No halves tomorrow as all of the banks are closed.

41 halves (all silver as claimed) is $20.50 face

This is a "mass update" of a few weeks' worth of boxes. I only order 1 at a time because of the difficulties I have in getting rid of them afterwards. Banks are closing left and right in my town, and 99% of those that remain have instituted highly unreasonable ways to maintain a checking account free of fees. Because of this situation, I currently have just 1 bank branch I can use to drop off half dollar boxes.

Box 1: An interesting box, to say the least- but not in a good way! Exactly half the box was composed of carefully re-wrapped Loomis rolls. There were also an extremely high number of marked half dollars mixed in with everything. Needless to say, the box was almost a total bust; the only remotely interesting things I found were 5 NIFC half dollars.











Box 2: An even worse one than the first box... there were quite a few marked half dollars again, and I only found 3 NIFC half dollars by the end.







Box 3: Finally, some silver! I came across fewer marked half dollars than in the past two boxes, so this box itself seemed "marked" for somewhat better finds. The totals for this one were 2 40% silver half dollars and 7 NIFC half dollars. The 2008-P was a hole filler in my folder, while the better of the two 2011-D pieces was a vast upgrade to a preexisting coin, so I was quite satisfied with the overall results.

Thanks, RCook. I hope you're six boxes next week produce a dream box!
