I'm averaging a Buffalo in every 375 rolls or so, so they are really tough! And thanks jbuck for clearing up the 1942's; don't know why I put 43-45 instead of 42-45. I also forgot to mention proofs (thanks XoG!) Grab yourself another box, 1964S, and keep up the great finds! Report this Post to the Staff
1337 Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 7:06 pm I still havent finsihed looking through the box. First I looked for only Buffalos. I found one in my last roll Then I looked for 1990D without FG Then I Looked for early high grade dates. though I didnt find many. I found a brilliant 1967. Now I'm going to look through the coins for the Silver War Nickel. I dont think Nickels are my thing. I prefer Pennies and Halves. I was just test trying the nickels, but the boxes seem a little depressing. you find like 4-5 keepers. IN Halves I find like a 2-3 silvers every roll. In pennies I find alot of copper and 15 Wheaties and some errors and great BU's Edited by 1337 04/16/2008 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 7:23 pm "2 or 3 silvers in every roll" of halves? I'm moving to your town!! Anyway, there is a lot out there to collect; you have to go after what "turns you on". If nickels are not your thing, by all means give them up; no reason to collect something that isn't fun for you. Besides, at 2-3 silvers per roll I'd be doing nothing but halves in your area! Report this Post to the Staff
1337 Pillar of the Community United States 656 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 7:52 pm Yea, but it is very hard to get Boxes of Halves though. The banker really give you a hard time. I go to Bank Of America. I dont think there really any collectors in my town. Only me. Report this Post to the Staff
SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 08:44 am BOA is my bank... The tellers look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them for halves. I went in the other day and asked for a roll. They had 2 in the branch... not rolls... 2 half dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 11:11 am the reason I search halves is mainly to try to complete a full set of jeffersons from circulation. From my own point of view there really the only set outside of Kennedy half dollars that you can complete from circulation, since its relatively easy to find almost all the dates even those from the 40's and 50's.
