Is It Still Worth Hunting Through Bank Wash Quarters And Ken Halves?

Thank you Joe. Is it possible to find proofs? I found a few mirror like surfaces?

Not for the last 3 months

I think it is still worth it. There are ignorant heirs dumping small collections into the coinstar machines every day.

I picked up 37 rolls of Kennedy half dollars yesterday at a local bank. I was pretty excited after I called the bank since the banker told me that the coins were just brought in by a customer. All of the rolls had a handwritten label with a first name and year date and mint mark. Unfortunately, the earliest year was 1971 (of course)! It is pretty sad that someone took the time to organize the coins by date and label all the rolls with a name (grandchildren?) and they were simply turned in for cash/deposit. I quickly looked through the rolls. The coins were uncirculated coins of the date and mint mark on the label. I didn't find any surprises. I was only looking for 64-70s (not DDO's, etc.) I wonder what happened to all of the pre-1971 rolls?

I've had better luck with the quarters. zit's worth it, for sure, buy you've got to be willing to wait for the reward.

fistfulladirt is correct, as per typical, in that CRH =/= much profit most of the time, and you would often be better off working for half salary at mcdonalds, or just, as mentioned, buying the coins. It is,however, imo, worth it for the excitement and anticipation that the hunt comes with. I derive a lot more pleasure, for example, by finding a 1963 quarter rather that buying one.

Yes, it is the random reinforcement (gambler's "buzz") that keeps us CRHer searching for our next find.
