Picked up $110 in customer wrapped and found no silver or NIFC coins. I think I got part of someones dump. A few months back I walked into a Chase bank and asked if they had any halves. The lady said she had $250 worth that a guy brought in. I was so excited! She comes out with the rolls...in a $500 halve box. The guy bought the box and returned half up it rolled up! |

Hey Scott and Ferdyboy thank you for the help and information, I went to the bank, I should say about 9 different ones and begged for rolls today. Most did not have even a single roll, one offered to call me when their bag is finished filling on their coin sorter in a few days and a couple had just a few. I did happen to get 5 rolls from one place and when I got home and began opening the rolls, those 5 and $250 worth that were bank wrapped from another place I really got excited when the first roll had 2 40% half's and 2 other rolls out of the 5 also had some for a total of 6. As for the $250 in bank wrapped rolls there was not one. I am still examining them for some of the errors you mentioned and have my fingers crossed. I wanted to also ask about the term NIFC, I understand what it means but what dates does it refer to and are these dates worth holding to the side to keep? Also does any one know of a way to get connected with those coin star people, heard of any one with any luck doing this, I would imagine that would be the premo place to find some great coins as I see all these people emptying their piggy banks from home in them?
Again thanks for all the information, wish every one luck in finding that elusive silver....Darin

I wanted to also ask about the term NIFC, I understand what it means but what dates does it refer to and are these dates worth holding to the side to keep? Here's the list of NIFC's: 1970 (40% silver) 1987 (don't really know why these were NIFC--maybe someone else knows why--I'm curious myself) 2001-P (The D's were issued into circulation, don't ask me why---maybe something to do with 9/11) 2002-present A lot of folks dump them rather than keeping them. I keep all of them, because they were minted in very low quantities, the past few years less than 2 million, while regular business strikes number in the hundred of millions minted. And yes, they do bring a small premium, usually about a dollar or so, depending on the condition. I have always argued, why not keep them unless you are really strapped for cash and your behind on your bills or something. They are always going to be worth at least 50 cents, and you can always just spend them later if you had to. Of course, all of the "S" mint marks (proofs) are NIFC's too and, depending on the date, could be clad, 40% or 90% silver. Since 1992 the mint has issued both clad and silver proofs, plus the bicentennial year 1976. Great finds on your first try! A lot of folks swear that customer wrapped rolls are more productive than boxes, but I haven't found that to be the case for me. YMMV. Edited by Ferdyboy

quick question
when I search and pick up my boxes, I simply use a withdraw slip to get my coins
I only use one bank (HSBC)
do you people who use numerous banks (BOA and someone else for example) carry cash, use checks?
wondering because I want to get another bank account to dump my halves
But then I will need to transfer money from one account to the other
this pertains to halves because I don't want to keep giving them back to the same bank (not branch, but same company)
and have them get mad and not allow me to get halves anymore
what do you guys with 2 accounts do?

Ferdyboy...
1987 P & D Halves were not put into circulation that year. They were released only in mint sets and they minted 2,908,145 sets for that year.

Thanks for the info, Deltron. It still doesn't explain why, just out of the blue, in a year of no particular significance, the mint decided not to issue the '87's into circulation--?--- The later years (2002+) are understandable because the public just doesn't like to use the bulky half dollar and would rather just have 2 quarters instead----as a matter of fact, I think that other than the first few years of production, they have not been used as currency much other than for gambling at the slot machines---  |

Ferdyboy look at the mintage on the '70-D. When they're that low they don't circulate them. That's as good an answer as I know of, anyway. Probably the better question is, why were the '87-P and D mintages so low, in the first place?
