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

Ratman-

I dump all my halves at a different bank chain altogether and I never order any from them. I do order from 4 different banks and I never dump any at any of thoughs banks.

Not a super week all around for silver (although 16 40% and 14 90% (all Kennedys) isn't too bad I guess) but one customer roll I checked contained seven circulated Proofs (83,84,89,90,91,2 2000 all S mints of course). Looks like someone was sitting on them and needed the money. Even though once circulated they have essentially no numismatic value, I just can't bring myself to spend or put a Proof back in a roll!

It seems like Silver Eagle is on a tear. Anyone come across halves marked with "J" on them and a date? I've come across quite a few in NJ. Perhaps it is someone on this forum?

I hit 8 banks today and only found 40 some dollars in halves (only found 1 roll and it was a skunker). One teller had $10.50 in her tray that netted me 3-1967's and a 1979S proof. I stopped back at the bank I had very good luck at almost 2 weeks ago. (the teller who hoards halves was on vacation when I went last time, so they sold me her stash that was loaded with silver). They remembered me and told "Special K" that I was the one that bought all the halves and she wanted to buy them back. She asked me to look through them for "pure silver" and she would buy them off me. I let her down easy and told her there wasn't any good ones in them. Besides, she gave my new friend (the teller who sold them to me) enough grief. So I felt my little white lie would ease the tension.

Woo hoo!

Where on earth do you get 12 boxes to search?

Another skunk box

I bought 730.00 out of a vault last week and came up w/ 30 silver clad, 7 1964 P & D, and 2 1954 D. The merchant teller was all too happy to give them up; she said they had been balancing the vault with 730.00 in halves for the past few years.
