first time ever for me. I will be picking them up next weekend. While I hope to get some silver, I really want to find at least one of the halves not released for circulation, they are the only ones I haven't captured in the wild for my 64 thru 2003 books. Anyone have any luck finding them this way?

I understand they're fairly common but you often get lots of one date. I've only searched one box and about a dozen rolls, but I got 6-12 each of 2009, 2010, and 2018 from both mints.

You shouldn't have any problems finding 2018-Ds as they released tons of these out to the public. Other than the newer coins (2019-2021), it isn't too hard to pull a full set of post-2001 NIFCs from boxes. Even 1987 P & D coins occasionally show up, and many people (not me yet) have also found 1970-Ds in circulation.

NIFCs are always fun (and realistic) finds to aim for - good luck on the hunt, let us know how it goes :)

I was saving hundreds of NIFC and couple dozen impaired proof but dumped 95% of them a couple years back.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Dirt fishing since '72

I just went through 20 rolls of bank-rolled Kennedy halves over the weekend. While not a total waste, I found no NIFC halves and only three 40% silver. Everything else was dated 1971 to 1998, with no 1987s. I'll do a separate post later, perhaps. Edited by halfamind

That's not a bad ratio... that works out to 7.5 40% silvers per box - the most silvers I've ever found in a box is 7. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

Well the bank called, they said they wern't going to order my boxes because they had received many halves from their brabches to send back. I agreed to take them, and was able to get them saturday. I have 4000 halves to go thru now! I no longer expect any silver, and am a bit daunted by the sheer number of coins. I have looked through some and so far I believe I have 1 struck through cloth or grease, 1 DDR and some impressive Machine Doubling. I will post some pics to verify after I get through some more halves. |

And the DDR, the "doubling" is easier to see under my loupe, but I couldn't get a real clear closeup with my scope.    |

It is good you found something in the $4K worth. Sounds like someone has abused their coin dumping privilege at your bank. Time to find a new order bank. I am sad to see this hobby killed by the internet, particularly YouTube CRH-ing videos. Personally, I have changed my focus to the stock market the past 14 months and am vary pleased with the returns. GL to all.

Can you buy 90% silver halves from a bank?
