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

I like the Kennedys a lot. While none except the varieties is especially tough in unc there are many tough in attractive condition whether it's XF or chBU.

But don't underestimate the difficulty of putting together other sets. Pennies are tough because low mintage coins require that you look at large numbers of coins to find. Attrition is staggering on these so some dates are hard to find.

Nickels may be the easiest but you'll find attractive coins from the '60's and '70's a little tough.

Dimes are like quarters except they have a much higher attrition. They don't circulate quite so readily since people won't go through their change to spend dimes but early dates still tend to be universally worn. Finding a coin like a nice well made and undamaged 1969 or 1971 is getting very tough.

Quarters are my personal favorites. They have much lower attrition but there are many neat varieties and they are heavily used and heavily circulated. When coupled with the fact that most were horribly made you'll find dozens of dates for which it is hard to find examples.

I really like all the moderns a lot and don't mean to take anything away from the half dollars. These haven't circulated as heavily so there are advantages with this as well. The existence of tough dates in circulation will make them attractive to many individuals.

People really should try all the denominations if for no other reason so they have a reference set to identify varieties and see when changes were made.

Hi,

I just got finished searching 10000 coins or 5000 dollars face on half dollars. I amazed all the unc or bu coins out those 10 boxes. Tons of 1971 thru 2001 unused coins. So many I cant keep them will cash them into my bank. Lots of my bu coins were ruined where silver hunters defaced with markers . What an waste on bu coins.

I did build 4 sets out of it them . Tons year 2000 p and d coins. I got sick of looking that them. Onley bu coins I save out those boxs are 1983/1982 non mint set years. This find an person could make solid date roll set of all those bu coins from 1971 thru 2001 if they wanted an set.

Ow well I cant keep them all will cash them into banks to buy another 10 boxs of them .

Sorry I cant give you speadsheat like above. 10000 coins is to much to count since there is to many. Its would take days to short and count them.

I did learn something its rip off to to buy those bu coins from dealers since you find tons them in bank boxs if buy boxs in large scale like I did.

Chevy: I am amazed at how much roll searching you do. You must spend hours every day doing this. I think my wife would get mad at me if I spent that much time on it.

You're getting me excited, Patrick, as I'm patiently waiting for my first 2 $500 boxes.

If any of you got any spares, I'm willing to trade Aussie coins.... Don't know much about them, but since their silver, I would love them... :DD

:P I'm only 16 Bruce... lol.. to get 475 would be like never... :(
