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

Well just asked my local credit union if they will order mea #500.00 box she said she will haveo check with he bank manager and call me back.

So I am hoping if they will not will try my other bank but that will make a better dump bank.

So I hope they get me a box?

Well the lady at the credit union called back she said they had a box of $500.00 at the bank they were rolls people brought in so I am thinking well probably searched. But then hat if they are some that people have saved ad need the cash.

1st off when I asked the teller if they had any half's she said oh no we never get any then I asked the manager reminding her f how much I have in there bank if they could order me a fed box anyway when she then calls and says oh we have $500.00 in the bank and the teller said none.

Well I found about 10 I needed for my book nothing special and about $25.00 worth I am keeping just because they are in such shape maybe will need them.

Guess I did not do so bad found six 40%
1969 1ea, 1968 1ea, 1967 4ea for a total of six.

I was surprised that I did the entire box in one afternoon so now I have $470.00 of half's to dump at my other bank I am sure they will love me. Guess I will take in $250.00 tomorrow and the rest Saturday.

May then ask the credit union to get me a fed box Monday and see if they will.

I have a new bank to dump mine at, there are about 4 branches conveinient for me between home and work without going out of the way. All locations have coin machines with large capacities although I think the most I've taken at a time was $700.00. Whats really interesting is I've gone there about 4 times now (no account required to use the machines)at different locations, and every time someone (teller or manager as if they're trained to do so) comes out to the machine and stands there with me and says they've never seen so many halves before and ask if any are silver, I just say "I don't think so, I'm not sure" and they proceed to grab and look at older or dirty looking ones as I'm putting them in the machine. Anyway they offered me $20.00 to open an account, I think I might take them up on it, but not just yet.

First 3 halves boxes I have ever searched Box #1 was a fed box it yielded 10 40%'s and 2 1964 jfk's.
Box #2 was again a fed box but was pretty dry 2 40%'s and box #3 I got a nice suprise about 30 rolls through of skunk I end up with a 1954 Benjamin Fraklin. I got a fed box coming from flagstar should be in today.

Searched 2 more fed boxes over the weekend. Found 13 - 40%, 2 - 1976-S, 1 - 1976 Gold tone coin and 1 - 1974 that is real shiny and does not show any copper plating on the edge. Did they make any 40% or 90% in 1974?

That 74 half you got is silver plated. I got one about a month ago. People plated them to fool people into thinking they were silver. Scratch the edge and you will the copper

I keep the lower mintage dates of 2002-present. they are worth a bit more then 50c, but not as much as the silver ones in my thinking.
