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

Found just four silver-clad halves in the latest batch from the bank, plus these:

Decent clad proof, with mostly original surfaces:



Nice 1987-D (first one I've ever found!):



Plus, this coin which has the lowest-positioned mintmark I've seen on a JFK half. Can anyone show an example of a JFK half with a mintmark even lower?

Ratman-
I just called them this morning and ordered another 2 boxes

I've only done 1 box so far. It was a really good one. (20) 40%, (3)1964,
(1) 1962d Bennie, (1) 1999S silver proof and (1) 2007S proof! But now my bank's manager is giving me problems about ordering more. So...I sent a letter to corporate and got a quick response. So I replied telling them I'll give them a few days to resolve this issue or I'll close my account and walk across the street to another bank!

Yeah! The manager told me it was HIS policy and not a corporate policy....and actually suggested that I go to another branch (Which is 7 miles farther away) to get my halves. I let corporate know that it would be alot easier to just change banks instead of driving past 8 different banks on that 7 mile trip! 4 of those banks are within spitting distance of my bank!

Hi, I'm new at this forum and found this thread interesting. I remember my dad doing a lot of roll hunting when I was young. He sold off most of his collection a few years before he died, but some of it he kept to pass on to me. I've slowly been making an inventory list of everything and this thread inspired me to do his Kennedy halves. Apparently he quit collecting them after 1983 (or sold/traded them in) and didn't do much with the 1971 onwards. Most of these were found in change or from roll hunting in the Southern Indiana area although I suspect a couple he may have purchased.

Welcome to NFICville. I found 5 NFICs in a Fed box yesterday. 2001, 2001D, 2002, 2004 D, 2005. No silver though. I've only got 1 silver from the last 2 boxes.

WMcKim: and nice finds, especially the 78 and 78D, which are very hard to find in decent numbers.

Just got $60 today, and it had 1 90% JFK, plus several very nice 82D BU (tougher to find in BU).
