So back to the subject, why would a non-hobbyist have 20 or more half dollars


Any attempt to answer that would be pure speculation. Maybe they stole them?

Also, keep in mind that many banks do not accept customer wrapped rolls, so any loose halves that are cashed in (by a collector or not) would more than likely end up being machine rolled in the future after being mixed with other loose halves.

Typically, theft or inheritance.

You seem to have an active imagination, you should use it! I can't do it all for you but I'll try...... I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 baseball card. I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 hummel's. I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 hot wheel cars, I'm a non-hobbyist, I have 20 stamps, should I continue?..

only by actively seeking them (which is what hobbyists do)?


Wrong again. You don't have to be a hobbyist to have 20 half dollars. How about an inheritance? How about gifts?


Have you tried silverwolf suggestion yet?

My sister isn't a coin collector but when she came up from SC she brought a whole coffee can of them for me to look through (just were all clad circulated). My Dad wasn't a coin collector but for some reason when I cleaned out his room I found a full jar of them. My daughters mother worked as a nurse but for some reason she had a piggy bank full of them. I used to hate Kennedys but I somehow ended up with a ziplock baggie full of them (did take them to the bank to cash in).
It's just like 2$ bills - non numismatists (your hobbyists) collect them because they are different. How many people who are not numismatists collect State Quarters? Same go with the Dollar coins.
