Ok. From now on I'll set aside the 72s and 74s aside and give 'em a once over with a loupe.

I think I'm lucky in the sense that my bank has no problem ordering boxes for me at no charge, plus they are always the S&Ss rolls. And yesterday I told them that I take the coin I order from them and dump it at a BOA, but they said not to worry about it and just bring it back to them (where I order it).

Another thing a lady at a BOA told me. She said that if I return coin to them in those big plastic bags, and I know how much is in the bag and I write the amount on the bag, than they don't charge me for having the coins counted. If I give them a bag full of coin and don't know the amount in the bag, that is when they charge for counting. Even though they count them either way. I don't know if that helps anyone, but it helped me.

Are NIFCs worth saving? I have been finding quite a few lately and setting them aside.

Does anyone pay more than face for circulated examples?

After all but giving up on hunting halves I decided to ask my bank today for some and they had 3 rolls!
The first roll offered up a 1969S! However, it has a little acne. I believe the correct term is pitting?
Anyway, there are small specks on the mirrored background. Good half week for me so far. I posted
A score yesterday too.

Can someone help me understand the whole melting situation? I see various posts on both sides of the issue - some say it is OK to melt silver coins, but not copper pennies. Some say it is illegal to melt ANY U.S. coins. Does anyone know the official word and perhaps a link to more info for reference?

2 boxes today - 3 40% (65, 66 and 67), 2 proofs (74 and 82), 1 1982P no FG, 1 South African Penny and a few NIFC.

I've got 2 coins left to complete the set - 1970D and 1987P. I think my find rate for silver is so low that getting that 70D will take forever. After finding ~45 40%ers in the past year I only just found my first 1965 today!
