I've been thinking about going to dimes/quarters a while but we only get plastic wrapped rolls and I've never seen silver in those ever.

I'm not sure how you guys get access to the bags. I asked at a very friendly bank, and they told me they absolutely can't. The bags to to the Fed directly and are counted- one branch was selling the bags off and they got in some trouble for it.

Sigh.

Anyway, off halves for a while since they seem picked clean.

A bank had some lying around though so I grabbed them-

An 87 S proof in the mix!

The last four of my current boxes yielded

Skunk
Skunk
1-40%
9-40%, 2-64 Kennedy

I'll test the water again next week to see if I'm starting a good streak now. Finally all of my boxes are different from what I was seeing before!!

Okay, sorry about the wait. It took me a couple of hours to put all the proofs in 2x2s. Take a look: (bad pictures)

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

Anyways, here's a breakdown of the numbers:

1971S
1972S
1973S x3
1974S x4
1976S x10
1978S x6
1979S x2 (both Type 1 MM)
1980S x16
1982S x10
1983S x5
1984S x9
1985S x8
1986S x5
1987S x6
1988S x6
1989S x9
1990S
1994S
Total: 103

They're all clad, and only a few show signs of fingerprinting or spotting. I've got so many I don't know what to do with them!
