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

Very nice finds Olfdordman and gsr congrats. Bit of a starnge story with these coins. Go to bank ask for halves teller says I have $5 worth but they are not silver. I say OK no problem i'll take them. She lays them out 3 Ben's and 3 90%. Teller sitting at a desk yells over I have $30 in halves they have been searched no silver. Again I say I'll take them another Ben a couple of 90% and about 14 40%. I have gotten silver from this bank in the past. I just thought this was crazy. The other 2 40% came from another location.

Anyone else being charged for boxes of halves?
Last bill for $87.75/12 boxes. First 15 rolls are free,
$.15/roll after that. What a rip. What if I was buying pennies.

GREAT find AGAIN Cabo!!! Funny that the tellers said no silver. It's funny because the tellers back in the late 70's and early 80's mainly new what silver was. I think the younger tellers have no clue.

Banks are businesses, not public services. It is their sandbox, so their rules. They can charge whatever they want. If we do not like it, we can take our business elsewhere, but do not be shocked if they make no effort to retain us. We are small potatoes compared to those large corporate accounts and the fact is, servicing roll hunters eats into their profits.

You may be right, especially if a branch only has one or two people sourcing them for boxes. However, I like to believe those who are just getting loose half dollars or customer wrapped rolls out of their drawers are doing the tellers a favour.

Envision this scenario... a branch gets several hunters coming in ordering boxes and that volume is noticed by the branch manager (deliveries are not free). They either handle it locally (adding fees, declining boxes to consumers, etc.) or they submit a suggestion up the food chain where all branches do the same. Of course, that manager gets a nice bonus for increasing corporate profit.

I firmly believe the prime days of CRH are well behind us (which is why I no longer do it). For those still in the game, good luck!

Excellent!

Nice looking group!

Been awhile since I posted. Six boxes back, yielded a '64 and a '65.
Previous 2 boxes yielded '65 and '67.
Then this week 2 boxes totaled with 4 1964, and 1 1967, 1 1969, and 2 1968. Plus over 40 NIFC and 4 more S proofs and a gold plated one. The wife wanted the gold plated one.

Just over 2 oz. of silver.
