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

I bet someone got a hold of someone else's silver half collection and just cashed them in not knowing. I often wonder if they were stolen or maybe given to someone with no clue.

OOwas: awesome, dude, you're on a roll!

tkachukdude7: INCREDIBLE!

I've only found 1 in 211 boxes, or 211,000

6 boxes on Thursday.

5 40%ers's and a bunch of NIFC.

4 boxes today.

4 40%ers, 2 proofs, 7 NIFC, 1974-D DDO, a 1974 that was in a fire and the core bubbled up, and a half that someone soldered the reverse up.

what does it sound like and what does it weigh? that would be a very rare score. it is possible that it was struck on an SBA dollar planchet but from the photos the thickness does not indicate this. possibly a foreign planchet was used but unlikely.


if you want it sent to NGC for verification, I can set you up with my account and get it graded.

I would definitely get it weighed first and check what a local dealer says about it. don't believe everything he tells you, just ask and see what his initial reaction is and you will know if it's a keeper.

contact me if you want to send it in. good luck. hope it's the real deal.

btw, I'm in SCal as well.

Bank forgot to order my boxes. Right before I left I looked at my friendly tellers tray and saw silver. Sure enough, when I bought them, 2 were 68Ds!

I got 2 boxes of halves delivered by Dunbar one was a Loomis box and the other a String and Son. Loomis=1985 Proof String and Son= 4 40% silver halves.

6 boxes of halves. 5 40%er's (2 gold plated), 3 lowball one from each decade, 1 1982 no FG no serif, 1 1982 no FG, a few PMD for my reject set, and a couple of NIFC.

In 7 Loomis rolls of cents I use to salt my bags of halves when dumping to keep the tellers honest I also found a 1930 wheat, a 2005 Canadian, and a marked penny. Seriously, who marks pennies?

Great find on the walker BernieZ
