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

get a couple accounts at local banks. Get to know your tellers well. always take your searched rolls elsewhere, somewhere you won't frequently buy coins.

Glad to see that silver is still being found. As for me, I am going to have to try a different bank.

When I started, the rolls were yellow and white on my first two boxes and I did well with them. Not long after, the rolls changed color and my silver content went down. Now, in my last eight boxes, it is clear I am not getting into someone elses dumps. I like to see silver or proofs or the like. The same old markings box after box have me moving to another bank if possible.

I plan on asking my head teller to order me two boxes of dimes this coming week. I will also try a different approach of going around to some local banks and asking for halves they may have. In my area, there must be close to 75 bank locations and I just need to get up the courage to walk in and be friendly to the tellers.

if you find enough NIFC's let me know and we can trade. I have tons of gem silver proofs I could part with.

2 more boxes from BOA wrapped in black/white wrappers. Already knew this wouldn't have anything silver. I did get an '86 Immigration commerative. Better than nothing I suppose.

7 boxes this week - 2 40 %s. In the last 2 weeks, I have searched 15 boxes and found 3 40%s.

This is almost not worth the trouble. Hope everyone has better luck.

Does anyone notice any more luck with one style of coin box versus the other? I got two boxes from two different banks and one was a small square box with a brown stripe on the side, and the other was a larger, rectangular yellow box from "HF String and Sons". I've had two of the yellow boxes and found nothing, but I've had one of these brown boxes, hit 6 40%er's. Anyone?

Update for my dad, he went back home but not before bringing me a roll from his 2 boxes.

he has found maybe 1 or 2 silver in 20 boxes so far. he came to town and on his way he picked up 2 boxes he ordered from a bank about 3 hours from his house. Good thing he did.
