Pungod,

Here is a list of dates I have read about having the no FG error. When
looking for this error, make sure to have a good magnifying glass seeing how
the FG often is worn and may not be extremely visible to the naked eye. You will
see the faint outline of the FG. If it is not there, BINGO and you are in luck.

In 10 boxes so far, I have only found one 1972D with the missing FG. It is now
in a foldover. My personal grading would have it around the $25 range on E-Bay.

1982 - NO FG
1982 - NO F but G is Present
1972D - NO FG
1980D - NO FG
1982P - NO FG

BTW, I was surprised to see how sturdy the wrappers are from the machine rolled rolls.

On my last boxes, I simply placed my searched halves back into the original wrappers and
wrote my account number on them. It was much easier than rolling them at a later time
in loose paper rolls from the bank.

I guess this should have been obvious but I was excited with my first few boxes that
I simply ripped those suckers open and tossed the searched ones into a large, glass
container I have.

:)

i wonder what the average take home is for you more serious hunters...
for example, $/hr you think you make on average roll hunting various 40%, 90%...
Well, so far this year, I'm at about 23 cents an hour, not counting my gas costs.

Is there a market for the halves NIFC? Just wondering. So I guess someone bought them from the Mint at a premium and put them into circulation? Just wondering

Check ebay. We had a roll that we got somewhere, apparently NIFC, got over $50 for it.

I asked my dealer if he was interested in any of my beautiful S-mint cameo clad proofs. He offered 45 cents each. He was dead serious. NiFc I toss back.

I've found dozens of the gold Kennedys over the years. JCWhitney must have sold a lot of those gold-annodizing kits back in the '80's. You may come across date counter-stamped halves also. They were also sold as novelty for 5 bucks or more back in the 1980's.

Went to dump some coins at 1 of my banks, there was this guy there cleaning the coin machine got to talking with him he told me there was quite a few companies rolling the coins for the bank for nothing but they get to keep all the silver they find. Now how big of an area he services and how many banks or which banks are involved he did not say. He did not seem to want to divulge that info.
Also did 4 more boxes nothing nada no nifc or proofs or silver. So that's it for me for awhile.
Good luck happy picking

I went the bank to pick up my halfs and one of the tellers jumped up and down saying she found something and wanted me to look at them. Well it turns out that an old lady deposited an entire roll of walkers and an entire roll of franklins. The kicker...the teller snagged them! She knew they were valuable, but she didnt know how much. Well I put on my friendly face and looked at them. The franklins were in mint condition, and the walkers were from g4- au50. The oldest walker was 1917s. I offered $500 dollars, but she said she wants to hold onto them.

Its just painful to being so close to a score and then get nothing. But I am happy for her.
