Got another 2003 out of the box I did on Monday which was someone's dump, a lot of the halves were pretty damaged by someone with a love of wire snips, bolt cutters, or some similar tool.

Khromtau, sorry about the dump! It stinks when someone mutilates the coins. For some reason, a lot of Kennedy halves are mutilated, holed, hammered, gouged, painted, glued, nail polished, etc.

Here are a few that I found in the box, bicentennial with a clip from wire snips, bolt cutters, etc...(about half were like this) an acid dip experiment, and someone's brazing/angle grinder use experiment. I also found a holed one but dumped it back in the box.

Why a coin roll hunter would purposefully damage the coins they look through is beyond me. Tools like them ruin the hobby for the rest of us!

I still also think it's interesting how many proofs you'll find hunting halves, compared to other denominations.

Recently, I did a 7-roll hunt and the only find of note was an ender: a 2014-P NIFC, though I threw it back considering it was in crappy condition. I kept a nice 2006-P NIFC that I found doing another 10-roll hunt though.

I've seen a bunch of the acid dipped halves. They are weird. I think a lot of it is late shift boredom at machine shops and factories with chemical baths, grinding equipment, drill presses, etc.
