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

'GARDA" is the armored cash logistics Company that some banks use for receiving/shipping bags/boxes of coins etc.

Wells Fargo/Brinks/Garda etc.

FWIW, I showed some of the proofs I have came across to a dealer who thought that they were probably stolen and then spent. Also these are considered "impaired" and have no numismatic value unless it's a key date silver.

you know, I had thought about security reasons. I certinly do not want that. it is just nice to see pics of what people have, even if they are only 1 or 2 coins in the collection. so if anyone has one of their favorites, that too would be a treat

Tell you what afcop13, you can have my bags I have been getting lately. They have sucked beyond belief. I will tell my bank to ship them over to your bank right away.

I have found some halves ( I dont remember any silver) inside grocery store banks, although I tend to dump there more often, different locations of course. Maybe thats just me

As far as drive thrus vs branches, I like to go in. I think it is more personal and when I ask them to check the other tellers for halves, they might have more incentive to do so, again just MHO

JokingJoker, I hope we aren't in the same area!

GUESS WHAT GANG!! Yep...walked into a bank today, asked for halves and they cooly replied "I have a few..." which amounted to $12 worth...and amongst them...yep, a 1968-D and a 1969-D!! Finally!!!

Then another branch said they "only had $3 worth"....I was like...oh, $3 worth is great for me...then, they pulled out three rolls of $10 each...WOW! Woooo hoooo!...alas...no silver in them...but I'll have to check the dates now.

I didn't know they have halves. Great! Now I'm going to have to start doing the grocery shopping!

ok. I do not know where to start..

i didn't want to start a new thread for this, I think it fits in this category: you be the judge.

so after $250 in dimes, I found a 47, 63-d , 64-d.. not bad for dimes? well on my way to BANK OF AMERICA to dump my coins in their convenient coin bags (used for merchants), I rolled up to the merchant teller and handed over the bag. after she processed the money, she opened her teller drawer. I glanced down to see 5x silver half dollars!!, I asked politely if I may buy them. she said yes. so as I got the money out of my pocket, she brought out 5 CLAD halves.. I looked down and there was still the 5 SILVER halves. I asked, I would like those halves please. she quickly changed the subject and asked me to sign for my receipt. I politely asked again why I cannot have those halves. she replied that she was saving them for herself. at that moment I was begging to steam. Now, I know that many tellers save silver for customers, themselves etc. I called the corporate office as I left and told them what had happened. As a B OF A teller you are required to hand out whatever denomination that is asked for. If you do not have the money, then too bad. But, if they have the money, they are required to give it to you. I had then left the branch manager an anonymous voice-mail and explained the situation. I do not feel bad at all for ratting her out. She has always given me a bad attitude, even when I was polite. Now, if she had bought the halves for herself, and taken them OUT of the teller tray, then NO BIG DEAL, I would have gone elsewhere. But policy stated that whatever was in the drawer and if it was arsed for, then by company policy, they are to hand it over. I am not going to go make a big deal about it and go back and ask. I just wanted some justice. It just doesn't seem fair you know? what would you all have done? If you saw 5 SILVER halves sitting there in the tray, and you asked, and they said NO! wouldn't it kinda rub you the wrong way? anyway, ill get over it...
