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

Very Nice Haul!

Thanks, its been hit or miss big with these bags. The highlight was the 1970 S Proof (40%), which is a hard one to come by. I am thinking someone cut open a bunch of proof sets they "acquired" somehow and dumped them. There were 11 other proofs from almost every year during the late 70's to early 80's.

Yeah, great haul AG, still looking for my 1970!
Hit or miss,.......thats the name of the game!

i feel a lot better when all you "hot shots" post your skunkings... makes us poor guys feel normal.. =D

hit my first box, in increments last week, scored 4 40%'s, 83 proof, 06, 05 NIFC... but every bank I go to has nthing.. actually they more and more people are asking for halves!~! insane. I havent hadf any luck with customer wrapped since my first day of hunting when I got $20 and got 15 out of 20 coins being 40's and 90's... ever since, that bank hasnt had any, nor do they order any... they other branch I've been hitting only gets dumps from people.. and the other branch I've been gracious enough to have the tellers buy the vauly box and sell them to me over the course of a couple days =D which seems to be the only way to get halves that arent dumps, and better than nothing at all...

Im not one of the "hotshots" but let me tell you what I have run up against these last two weeks in 30 plus trips. I get "No, we don't have any" "No, we don't order those" "What is that, the little dollars?" "We only sell to customers" "No, someone just bought ours" etc. I even almost bought my own dumps once, lol.

I bought $330 from a bank I do business with and didn't get one keeper in the bunch. A few days later I told the teller that I didnt find one good coin and she said "Sorry." On my way out the door, she shouted "I will look out for halfs and call you when some come in"

At another bank I got 8 rolls they had in the vault and 7 of those 8 had searcher marks on the wrapper. Yep, the other roll had a 2005-D and a 67. Oddly enough the good roll had balance figures all over it. Go figure lol.

Keep working at it SD, and you will pick up some tips to getting some good rolls. I am learning fast as I go.

50c

The upside of everyone asking for halves is that my dump bank loves it when I bring more rolls in. lol.

well, went to the bank, called ahead, said tehy had $100 in the vault, show up and get my own wrapped rolls.. DOH! 2x this has happend. funny thing is I have never dumped at this bank.. so someone else is getting my dumps at another bank and then returning them to the other branch I go to to pick up.. WOW confusing.

Two boxes last night, found two 40%. That's a 0.1% success rate. Today, I have to return 99.9% back. In anything else, at those rates, I'd have thrown in the towel a long time ago. But I can't, because something's wrong with me.
