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

I actually wasn't supposed to get these boxes. 3 weeks ago I asked them to double my order to 8 boxes since I missed the week before. They asked me if I wanted 8 boxes for the next week as well and I said no. When I went in last week they asked me how many boxes I wanted. I told them my usual 4 and asked why. They said because they had ordered 8. So I took my 4 boxes as that is all I had money on me for. So this weeks boxes had been sitting there for 2 weeks. Unfortunately that means if all of the Walkers from box 2 were straggler rolls from a Monster box I am now 3 weeks behind tracking it down.

4 boxes from Friday.

Box 1 had 2 Walkers in 1 roll. Also found a Franklin, 2 proofs, and some NIFC.

Box 2 is where it was at. 6 Walker enders. I only rim searched the box as it was after work and I needed to get home in time to watch the game but I did pull a proof and a couple NIFC which I spotted by the shiny edges and the fat edge for the proof. Ended up with 40 Walkers, 4 Franklins, a 1964, 4 40%ers, at least one proof, and a couple of NIFC.

Box 3 had a proof ender. In that roll was a Barber and a Walker. Ended up with a BArber (my 4th so far), a Walker, 2 1964's, a 40%er, 4 proofs, and a couple of NIFC.

Box 4 only had 1 NIFC

JJ, you hit the jackpot, congrats!

Hey guys I'm new to the collecting game. At first I thought I was just going to try and hoard some silver but I really got hooked on the thrill of finding errors and rarities as well. That said I've only hunted 3 boxes of halves so far and in my very first box pulled out 1 1952 Franklin. From what I had been reading that was a decent score... next box nothing. However, I was able to discern I think I'm getting my coins from someone's drop bank as most are marked or beat up from the coin machine.

So I went to another bank with a different armored car service and hit the mother load... pulling 20 silvers out of one box! I took home 4 1964 Kennedys and 16 '65 to '69 Kennedys! Needless to say that's all it took and I'm hooked! Also took out a couple UC 2000's... no proofs or double dies but I'm out there looking! It also seems it's all random as well keep up the good fight and hopefully you run across grandpa's dumped silver...

skibdib and jack are rolling!

How many rolls in a box? I picked up my first roll today, 14 unique if I want to start a set and 6 duplicates. No silver.

Dlangs56 - There are 50 rolls in a box for $500.

Thank you Sauce -- sounds pretty hardcore for me. Maybe one of these days...

Nice finds to all-especially JJ!

Searched 2 boxes tonight and reached a new half dollar milestone! First box was a skunk. In the second box, I found 1 40%, 2 shiny Franklins and I had to break out the magnifying glass, but the coin in the pic is a 1906 Canadian silver half dollar. My first silver Canadian half! At this point , I pretty much thought id seen it all on this forum, but it is a new milestone for me.. I'm sure a few of you serious volume hunters have come across one or two of these before:







Happy hunting !
