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

hi berto, thanks. Ive been on the hunt all year, though my volume has dropped down due to time constraints. And bigmag, yes, it was the most fun Ive had opening rolls in a long time, if not ever. Some rolls had 10, 11, 12, 13...

the new image resizer is crashing my browser for now, else I post up some pics. MEGA rolls, enders, it really was a dream day. Hole fillers were 1918 and 1948.

95 x 90%, 75 x 40%, that was a dream day for sure.

I bumped my order for next week to see if I can chip away any more at this silver spill. even to catch some boxes on the edge of this spill would surely be above average boxes.

nice finds Silver Eagle! its always good to add to the pile, whenever you can.

good luck all! Arby, great to see your updates, good luck!

Oh, I might have to start posting in this thread, since I've done more halves than anything. Just started CRHing this summer, and I'm not sure exactly how much in half dollars I've gone through, but it's probably around $4000 worth at this point.

Totals for all those torn open paper wrappers that mostly litter the floor of my car:

90% - 1 (a '64 Kennedy I found on the first day I started, still looking for #2 lol)
40% - 33 (4x65, 2x66, 8x67, 16x68D, 2x69D, and a 76S silver bicentennial proof! Speaking of which...)
Proofs - 7 (74S, 76S silver clad, 77S, 83S, 84S, 85S, and 2001S, all of varying degrees of impairment, but darn pretty nonetheless)
NIFC - 29 (All between 2002 and 2016. Still looking for those elusive 87/87Ds... and the 70D for that matter)

Hoping to find my first Franklin sometime soon, that would be a thrill!

Overall I think I've been fairly fortunate so far, at least with the 40%ers and proofs.

Went around searching for halves on lunch break...one bank had 3 CWR so I took those. Roll number 1 was all 1968...Roll numbers 2 and 3 were all 69. May one day I'll overcome my technological ignorance and post a pic.

couple of pics here...

Excellent haul!

Most Excellent Skibdib, boy does that make me mouth water! Meraxes welcome to the blog, hope you continue to score lots of silver. May your first Bennie come soon. HHB good luck with that hunting style, I don't have that kind of luck asking tellers, it happens once in a while, in a town of 30,0000 I am limited on the banks I can go to.

Just finished up my first four boxes for this week, first of all I was a bit disappointed when I picked up the boxes this morning, I usually get the small double stack boxes from Miracle, instead they had the loomis boxes. Loomis boxes have not been producing much these days so I was happy to find 1-64 and 1-Magic Coin. I think its my first one in over a year. I can't remember the last time I pulled a Magic Coin. That makes 40 magic coins I have pulled since searching. Hope tomorrow is a better day, missed my goal last week hope to make it this week. Good Luck everyone.

Webekin, happy to hear you scored some silver. I just finished up my second 4 boxes for the week, unfortunately all four boxes were skunks. I did reach a today, with those 4 boxes I just went over $1,000,000.00 face value searched, 2,000,000 half dollars searched. That is just amazing with less than $2500 invested I was able to search over a million dollars in halves. I was hoping to break 5,000 pieces of silver found before I hit the million mark, I fell short by 102 pieces of silver. Only wish I had some pictures of silver to share today as well. Wishing you all the best of luck.
