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

Thanks for the info. I will ask my bank which supplier they use. I should have already done this.

Welcome jj. Congratulations on your find.

Thanks for all the pics everyone has been sharing. Very nice indeed! Congratulations on all your newest silver finds.

The marathon run (57 boxes) is next week. I am hoping they have my 12 boxes from the other branch in today. Have a chiropractor visit this morning so I will check after lunch. My understanding is that they will be in by Thursday at the latest this week but that it could be as early as Tuesday. Figured a smaller practice run wouldn't hurt....lol. Rent money came in so I don't have to wait 'til payday on Thursday to pick them up.

The 57 box marathon days are next week. After seeing all these wonderful new finds posted on the forum it has really got me excited to see what I get. I feel like a kid in the candy shop who was told 'pick whatever you want'...lol. They haven't called me back to say they changed their mind....lol.

After the marathon run I'm resting.... still waiting to hear any suggestions you all have on what April's marathon should be.....

I will still get me some MUCH smaller batches of coins to sort during the rest of March so I'm open to any suggestions on what that should be too.

Can't help feeling like another of our members whose name says it all "oh I hate to wait" (OI82w8).... not sure if I spelled that right

Imagination in action....next week

Sorry to hear about your annoyed teller. Hopefully she will get over it soon and still help you get your orders anyway. If not and you have other banks in your area, it wouldn't hurt to check around and see if anyone else is willing to order. Sometimes just telling them upfront what the trade is, your money in an active account for their coins, can get the job done. Let them know what they can do to earn your business.

Just got a call from one of the banks that I recently opened an account at and my first box of halves is in. This particular bank uses a different courier than my current bank so maybe my luck with boxes will change.

i have a suggestion 1StarLight:

i say, you film your entire ordeal so we all can watch it! I realize it may be a few HOURS, so I suggest only the highlights.. just a thought =D

I stopped in at my bank for the first time in over a month to ask for halves. The merchant teller had $7.50 worth in his tray and I scored 3 40%ers, a 1966 and 2 1968's.

I went out and had fun today...lol. My buy bank said that my shipment is expected on Thursday so I decided to go out and play.... I collected halves and dollar coins today at several banks just to see what they had sitting loose on their trays. I didn't score any silver but I have several coins to add to our Presidential dollars album (two banks told me that the banks aren't going to be allowed to order dollar coins any more!?). I got several loose halves, several pres. and $50 in copper IKES (mainly 71 and 72). There was one teller who said... I don't have any of the Presidents but I am still stuck with these old ones with a woman on it and I'm so tired of them. I asked if they were bank rolls. She says "no, I don't think so." and then she proceeded to bring up her tray. It had 7 BU "direct from the mint" 2000P Sacagawea rolls. There are 7 uncirculated rolls. I said, 'well, if they're bothering you that much then I'll buy them all so you won't have to see them anymore". She was gushing her thank you the whole time I was heading out the door with them.
Later, I even stopped by the other branch where my 57 boxes are scheduled to arrive next week. When I mentioned to the teller that I was the one expecting the 57 boxes, she goes " oh, so you're the one! we've all been wondering who it is that ordered them. What do you intend to do with all those coins? There are so many.". I just said very quietly, I love to collect, my godson loves to collect and we have several other people who love to collect. She goes "oh, my, isn't that sweet". lol.........
