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

I only find Kennedys in CWR and in loose change at small town banks. I think most of the Fed, Brinks, Garda, rolls , etc. have been seriously depleted from years of CRH. I was late to the party, and started hunting back at thanksgiving, but I have still found hundreds of silver halves at small town banks. Now, I hunting through 1000 dollar bags of IKES, and I scored 17 silvers yesterday, and then sold the remaining ikes at a small profit. A great day!

@Owasookie and ChadsDad:

@Kurrykid: I will let everyone know if it's anything.

Here's some nice finds from boxes 194/5 (sorry for blurry pic):


that Walker was a surprise! It's my earliest, a 1937 no MM. Plus, found a 1964 in that box too, something I haven't found for like 10 boxes.

I scored 10 pairs of cotton gloves from a garage sale this weekend for $2. Below is a picture of what gets on our hands when we do 2 boxes. It looks much blacker in person.

I use my iPhone. Great detail...pay no attention to the above photo of my last post...here's an example:

Decided to skip the searching this week. Need to take some time and focus on how to handle taxes and the like.

Probably going to sell off some sterling this week. Would like to find a decent place besides E-Bay. May look into Midwest Refineries.

This being said, I will probably check some branches tomorrow for customer rolls. If I can't find any, I will
likely grab some dimes. They have been doing decently for me lately. Next week, back to my two boxes.

@kenscott: if you wanna sell some sterling, and you're in Jersey,a local coin shop I know might be worth a call. Let me know if you want the number. I've done good with him in the past.

Picked up a $470 in halves today. At first it appeared to be a mix of mostly CWR with a few bank wrapped rolls, but when I looked a bit closer I noticed the bank wrapped rolls had been rewrapped and were a bit loose in the roll. I opened several rolls and didn't see any silver, but did see quite a few that looked like they had their reeds filed off.

I'll go through the rest of them tonight to see if I come up with anything, but I doubt it. I'm running out of banks within range of the office to check, so I guess I'll see if I can get any of them to order for me.
