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

I actually lived in North Olmsted for a couple years after college - know exactly where your talking about.

I've gotten the V's before as well as the lines. The most prominent mark that I come across is on Kennedy's ear - either with green or black. If I have less than $200 I will usually re-roll them and put a "K" or write "silver" on the wrapper - but I've personally NEVER have defaced the coins I search like CRH DB (or whatever Bish is dealing with)

Good luck to you! and if you ever are in Lorain specifically to dump - go to Lorain National Bank - Oberlin Avenue branch... they LOOOOOVE some half dollars boy! LOL

What caused that? It's pretty cool. Never seen any thing like that before.

Holy crap, I got 100$ in cwr, about 1 month go, every roll had K on it, they had about 1000$, thats why I only took 100$, that was in lancaster, if you have ever been there. Those cwr's had been opened and looked at several times.Iv seen that lime green mark also on the ear.Ill do some pictures tommorrow, after my 4 boxes of some of the marks I find, hopefully have some other good finds to.

bish that is a sweet coin, never heard of it, or seen one before, off to google to see what its all about.
I agree with you, love the treasure hunt of boxes, I'm dying to find a commemorative ,barber, seated or walker from rolls, I own some, but want to find one, if you know what I mean.

love those Magician's coins, sold 5 in the past week or so for over $15 each. even found a magic NIFC.

I just Roll Hunted my first box of halves ever. It was fun.
My finds:
2011 P x2
1969D x2
1968D
1964D
1954 (beat up)

Bishftl,

I understand totally what you are talking about when you say that some searchers fail to find real treasure by limiting themselves to silver coins. Though the only error coins I have are a 1972 NO FD, and a 1966 profile doubling, that does not stop me from looking for error coins.

I would love to find a nice reverse rotation error, a strong die crack, or maybe discover something someone has never discovered before.

Also, I love it when I slide out a roll of halves and see the side of a proof or NIFC. For anyone who has done enough boxes, you know the smile that comes on your face even before you see the coin.

Speaking of NIFCs and proofs, I totally agree that marking them is absolutely uncalled for and childish. This being said, I was glad to see you were able to redeem the two you found. I am assuming, as well, that you used acetone.

Pretty good haul today, gonna post some pictures as I go.
