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

my dad went through his first sting n sons box and found nothing. I feel bad because I am really into the hunting thing, however never gotten a box, we were both eager to see what he got. not sure if location has anything to do with it. he lives in Northern Michigan and I am here in San Diego. Hopefully he will try again. and hopefully soon I will have the funds to get a box =D

Now I'm curious...in a sealed box? I'm not talking about scotch taped...

if it were me, I would report that. there has to be rules that people follow in the banking industry. the tellers I go to tell me they must have a certin amount of money at their teller station everyday. so when they get low, they will go to the vault and get a box and usually open it and break it with one of the other tellers. that is how I managed to get my first "box". I couldnt afford to get the whole 500 so I took half... so if someone is getting into the rolls, I would say it is someone at brinks, or the trucking co. that would make me very paranoid. I would find yourself a new bank. start dumping at that bank instead. =D

garda?

I have been holding the proof halves that I have found for some time. Tomorrow I will dump the following proofs
1971 - 3
1972 - 1
1973 - 2
1974 - 3
1976 - 8
1977 - 3
1979 - 1
1980 - 3
1981 - 1
1982 - 3
1984 - 5
1985 - 1
1986 - 3
1987 - 2
1988 - 4

1990 - 1
1991 - 1

1995 - 1
1996 - 2

I won't be too surprised if someone on this forum finds them in the near future.

Anyone here from West Houston? I'm here visiting from Mexico and I have not been able to find halves at banks...I have stopped at half a dozen banks and only found THREE halves...a 97, a 200 and a 95....

Getting deperate to search something I have been buying nickels and haven't found a drop of silver, but did pick up a nice 1939...then in desperation, I picked though about a gallon of change a friend had been saving and...found a 1960 quarter!!

How long does it take to get a box? I'd probably be ordering from a BoA, Wells Fargo or a Wachovia.

I've been kinda taking it easy and getting customer rolls every now and then ( cant completely quit!) Been finding 3 or 5 or 2 silvers here and there. The other day though, I did get a 1978 s clad Ike,my first s Ike proof anyway and it looked like someone had deliberately scratched the shiny fields on purpose, what a shame...
Another coin I found was a pleasant surprise a 1949 - D Ben my first "key date" found in a roll, not quite a full bell lines but its more defined then some of my later date Bens





Harrison- I know you've been chomping at the bit to search here in the US, I dont know how long you will be here, but keep trying, its hit or miss...and good luck, keep us informed!
