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

Arby, apparently the coin courier in your area is practicing "first-in, first-out", which is very disappointing.

Well not happy for sure, This week was not good, one piece of silver this week in halves, I also picked up 4 boxes of dimes today, I thought I would give them a try, One box was a skunk the other 3 yielded me 7 pieces of silver. 1-47, 1-50, 1-50D,1-52, 1-60D, 1-62D, and 1-64D. That was nice to find some silver in the dimes. I sure hope my next week is better. Trapper awesome score. Nice numbers. Hope those other boxes are as good. Berto I dumped at that bank again today what a mistake, The manager was in a meeting and I took a chance and lost $9.50, I didn't dump the second bag there took it to my other bank. So that machine is dead to me until I know for sure its been fixed. The 47 Dime is the nicest one top of the half in the picture. Good luck everyone.

Arby
nice on the dimes very good average I only get about 1 dime per 2-3 boxes lately seems like they are getting scarcer in my area.
Finished up 3 more boxes today found
13,40%
4 more boxes coming in tomorrow, I hope.
Best of luck to everyone

Been there, done that, got screwed as well.

I think I have narrowed down the suspect bank and since I have to work 6 days a week except for 1 Saturday a month which is when the anomaly can occur I may have to take one for the team.

The real twist / roll hunting revelation / knowledge for the mislead masses is the dump banks that got the coins were on a Saturday were 2 branches of BMO who now us use Garda and I got the coins back on the next Tuesday from Chase who uses Loomis.

While there are rumor online about "insert carrier here" is culling silver and there are FED rolls and so on I can tell you after 5+ years in the game you are your own worst enemy.

There is no bank conspiracy.

There is no currier culling silver conspiracy.

Brinks rolls are no better than Loomis rolls or Garda / S & S rolls.

Garda will even deliver Loomis wrapped boxes. Which leads me to my unsubstantiated conclusion.

ALL OF THE COIN IN YOUR AREA GOES TO A CENTRAL BANK BRAND VAULT.

From there it is divided amongst the different brand curriers and the different bank brand branch demand.

That is why the dump at a Garda bank so when you pick up at a Loomis branch to avoid getting your own dump back DOES NOT WORK.

Even if by some full moon reason I am wrong even if you dump at Garda banks and pick up Loomis banks the guy who hunts at Garda banks and dumps at Loomis will hand you your coins right back.

Further insight tomorrow.

Haven't posted in here since right after christmas as schedule has been crazy hectic.. I did manage to pick up my first batch of boxes for 2017 in the 2nd week of janruary as I was out of town the week prior and luckily my tellers love me and saved me some rolls of quarters and dimes that an older lady had brought in a few days before I picked up my boxes last week.. So last friday I picked up my 4 boxes of halves and 5 rolls each of quarters and dimes.. I was very excited to see they were old style rolls and my heart got to racing but tried to remain calm. Ok before I get to that I figured I would tell ya my totals for 2016.. They are not even close to some of you in comparison but only searched consistently for half the year due to financial restrictions but was very happy to have pulled a total of 92.4 troy ounces out of circulation.. Ok onto my last pickup of halves and rolls of quarters and dimes... Enjoy the pic, as I thoroughly enjoyed opening them all and what a start to the new year it was for me.. Sorry if I'm a bit excited I have never gotten lucky on anything but halves.



Breakdown:
Halves= x2 1964, x2 1966, x9 1967, x8 1968, 1969
Quarters= 3x 1959D, 1962D, 1958D, 1956, 1937, x3 1963, x2 1964, 1961D
Roosevelts= 1962D, 1964D, x3 1964, 1956, 1961, 1947, 1946,
Barber= 1893 (cull but still a barber and my earliest dated coin ever found in circ)
Mercs= x2 1941, 1939, 1920, x2 1943, 1944, 1943D, 1937, 1944

Can't wait to pick up my boxes today and hopefully have some more luck.

Also wanted to say Congratulations to Arby, Skibdib, Trapper, JackJeckel, Berto, John1, and anyone else I may be missing.. You all have had some outrageous finds as of the last month and I have enjoyed seeing the pics of all your great finds... Hope the silver streak continues for all of us android luck on your future hunts.. I will report back after I finish this weeks pickup of boxes.. Wish me luck

AWESOME finds, chettieyy!

And yes, January has been a crazygood month for finds for many of us...

jack everything you said I agree with 100 percent, been roll searching for almost 10 years and I came up with the same conclusion many years ago, doesn't matter if you get garda boxes and dump back to loomis etc you "will" still get your own coins back, can be as little as one week or 1 month or 5 months even. I used to experiment and receive garda boxes and used to dump at another bank that used garda as well and I always found more silver than say dumping where brinks/loomis picks up. years ago when I first started I believed like a lot of people did that each carrier had their own depots and didn't share the coin with the others now I know that isn't right (at least that's my opinion) I do think as you do it goes to a central location

Nice finds, chettieyy!
