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

Noticed on ebay a seller is selling "unsearched bank roll" of Kennedy halves with "possible silver"...only costs about $16.50 plus another 3 something in shipping. Pic shows some silver coins that have been found in rolls before (but are not included in auction).

This sounds like a profitable gig if anyone is buying; just get rolls from the bank and sell them on ebay for folks that are to lazy (or dumb) to go to the bank and get them direct for face value. go figure!

(if I knew how to put an icon here of me scratching my head in wonderment I would)

Did you look at his previous sales basic? He's sold several rolls for $8-$9.50..take out ebay and paypal fees which are normally around 10%...it's good for people who don't/can't get whole boxes.

I'm twenty rolls into my first two boxes doing this time consuming treasure hunt.
So far I have found a '67 (right at the top of the first roll-!); a '68; a 1980-s that looks like a frosted proof; and LOTS of color-marked halves that give evidence of at least four different searchers' dumps, or one searcher using four different marker colors. Oddly, both the rolls with silver in them also had marked coins. And there have been lots and lots of Bicentennial halves. I'll report again when I'm done with the second box. I have limited time available for this effort, but I can see the appeal already. Are there any special non-silver dates or errors I should be watching out for? Good hunting, silver hounds.

That's why I wait for 1 cent days to list those types of auctions. I'll start my auctions at how much I want to get on 1 cent days, because there's not much to lose if it doesn't sell.

$24 in rolled and loose halves netted a 2010-P and my first commemorative from circulation, a clad 1993 WWII 50th Anniversary half.

Finally, I mean FINALLY I caught a break. Hope was bleak for me since it has been so extremely dry up here. The second roll I grabbed had 2 90%s in it! One Ben and One Kennedy, I thought OH BoY I might have a great Box here! That all fadded away until I got to the last roll. Ironically, it gave up a 40%... SO from the second roll to the last roll, nada . One thing to note, there were many many different roll searchers marks on almost all the coins, amazing how random things can be in this game. I am so happy I could cry :) I will take this any day of the week!

Just went through my weekly $500 box. Found a 67, 68, 69, and a 1943!, my first liberty find. Last box, was pretty much nothing, so I did not post on it.
