cabowabo Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 10:57 pm Just wondering if anyone knows why the JFK Half Dollars are so dirty in general. I was going through a few boxes and almost missed 3 coins. Looking at the edges it was difficult to tell. I always check for sound. Many of them have a yellowish grime on them. I know when looking at edges of rolls when there is a Ben Franklin or a Walking Liberty you can't miss it. What caused the JFK to get so filthy. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

pan4au Valued Member United States 190 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 09:41 am I don't know either. I have notice that machine rolled coins are dirtier in general than CWR. I'm guessing that a lot of debris gets dumped into machines with the coins. I use Nitrile Gloves while searching all coin denominations Report this Post to the Staff

I also like to use gloves when searching, otherwise I feel a need to wash my hands every five minutes or less.
