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

Thanks for the info everyone, where do you get the wrappers to wrap the halfs as my bank does not have a coin machine.

BB

4 boxes today
1 NIFC (2002D)
3 Proof (71,87,91)
That's it :(
One thing I did notice is someone in my area has gone beyond Sharpie marking coins for ID. I had a TON of bicentenials that were sand blasted to give them a matte finish. You could spot them a mile away in a roll even on edge as the edges look frosted.

I ordered 4000 bank wraps off a supply website. I guess I plan on going through 40,000 dollars in halfs

bradford - nice once you start ordering your halves and find at least one, you will be hooked for life! haha

2 boxes completed

box 1 - 9 40s and 1 1986 proof coin
box 2 - 2 90s and 1 40 which had J's mark on it from 2009 haha! he missed one! yes it was a little black the coin but still easy to make out the 1968 guess he was in a rush to mark all the coins ha!

till friday for 2 more boxes

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I reuse the rolls my halves come in... I just pick at the top of a roll, straighten the paper out, and pop the coins. Once I've searched them, I just drop them back in, fold the roll over, and voila. I feel like it takes the same amount of time, if not less, than using new rolls. Also, I save 40¢ a box that way...lol.

Interesting day in Roll Searching for me today.

Box #41

(1)1968

Box #42

Now this is where it gets interesting. In this $500 box, almost EVERY single half dollar had the same mark on it. I'm talking at least $350 out of the $500. Here are a few with the mark. Maybe one of you guys..lol




Here's the good news. Below is the picture of what was NOT marked.

Now for the Dancing Fruits (& Vegetable)

Just picked up 258.50 in halves yesterday, all customer wrapped from 5 different banks. Scored 8- 40%, 1 90%, 88S PF and 3 NIFC (09P, 09D). At one branch, they had just 5 and the teller is looking at them and all were 40% she said they sound different and was banging them on the desk! It looked for a minute she was going to keep them, but she handed them over.
