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

1 Box total

2 1970-D (could'nt believe it)
5 40%
2 90% (64,64D)

Great box, I got another one coming next week. Last 3 seem to be pretty consistent. Over the last 3 I have pulled over 30 silver

SD - I'm not in your area.

well, I'm still pondering giving this half dollar search up for a few reasons:

1. I am limited to $100
2. they wont split up a box for me
3. I'm afraid to go a bank I am not a member of
4. I get the same rolls I turn in =/


thinking of going to cents or nickels?

anyone care to advise me back into halves, I am open to new strategies

I agree!

What do you have to loose?- You didn't have any rolls before you went into that bank anyway- Right?

What's the worst that can happen? 50/50- Yes or No- Go for it!

Just remember to be courteous etc whether its a yes or no.

$100 isn't your limit...it's simply your starting point.

$25 of that should/could be enough to open up a simple checking account with another bank. Now...you only have $75, but you've doubled your search-area. ;)

5 or 6 90%'ers, and you've gathered your initial $25 back...and have now enabled yourself to spend that $25 opening up another account at another bank, therefore tripling your search-area.

Patience my good man...patience

SDCoinguy,
I would stay with halves mainly because of the ratio of silver halves still in circulation are greater than circulated silver found in quarters & dimes and can thus afford you a better return for profit and/or upgrading coin collections, that being said, it is still enjoyable to roll hunt in other denominations.
Scotty has some good ideas with opening other accounts, I just opened one that gave me $75.00! No minimum bal and I do not have to have direct deposit to avoid a fee! (US Bank) You probably have one in your area, I'm in So Cal too. That makes 3 accounts for me, giving me greater opportunity for dumping and getting rolls,
but #1 Rule...
Dont bring back rolls to the same bank where you received them!
One reason is that they were glad to get rid of them (Don't bite the hand that feeds you)
and two,(as you know) you get the same ones when you ask again!

And like several have mentioned, go into other banks, just be courteous. I politely ask if the teller has any halves or if they could check with the other tellers,
You will be surprised at how many of them will the assist you and not even ask if you're a customer (some do, but oh well!)
You will soon have your favorite banks, for rolls and dumps!

Picked my usual two boxes of halves on Friday. One box had zero keepers and the other had 6 40%.

SDcoinguy, I wouldn't give up. I only go to banks I have accounts at, but two tellers at two different branches of a bank I go to have told me that they didn't care if I had an account or not. They just don't want me to bring the halves back when I am done searching them. Most tellers couldn't be happier to get rid of the "junk" as they call it: halves or IKE's. I agree though, that 'courtesy is essential'. Good Luck!
