I found these in rolls I got at the bank. Does anyone know what these chop marks are from?

    Not silver so not much need to chop mark them. Good chance it was just someone playing around with a punch. Some roll searchers will mark coins to know if they have looked at them before.

    Those are individual letter punches - not (Chinese) chop marks. I can make all you need if you supply the half dollars. ;)

    You can actually get a set of letter punches for around $10 at Harbor Fright Tools, less if you have one of those coupons they always send out.

    Yup, X marks the spot. Okay Jimmy out the X die right there and wack it with this here hammer. Good job. Now do the next coin.

    In the OP, the second to the last pic, JFK’s cheek took a mark and it received a double “X”.
