I found a 2020 Kennedy half in this box. Finding a lot of 2018s 3 with mirror like fields blemish FREE! Found 8 in one roll with 11 more rolls to go, one with 2018 double enders. Didn't know that the mintage was that high for the Ds and Ps. More info helps. Looks like an area dump from the mint. Cheers.

The mintages of 2018-D kennedy' s is the highest of the so-called NIFC's with a mintage of 6.1 million and the 2018-P's 4.8 million per wikipedia. The 2018 Kennedy half mintages seem to be too high to be called NIFC.
Didn't someone double order this year? Let the good times roll.
I currently have 19 boxes/bags searched and ready to go back and roughly 20 more too search. Doesn’t include the 11 I took in Friday.
I’m getting better at deciphering previously searched/lackluster rolls and abandoning the box. So those are beginning to stack up as I keep on the hunt for more good ones. Time to clean house. And get some more, that part never seems to cease.

Two more packs in the mail tonight. And I don’t recall 64’s coming in white and red wrappers and especially looking that new and loose. Might have to add that seller to my Sham list
We’ll see!

I'm slowly filtering them back into circulation. The other day parked at a red light a homeless guy came up, I didn't have any spare cash or change. But I did have a brick of fed rolls sitting their. The look on his face was priceless, like he hit the lottery when I handed it to him.
If a homeless guy finds a '43 bronze penny and I miss that news cycle. Did it really happen?
I thought I was bad with coffee cans, large plastic containers from Costco that had nuts in them, old penny/half dollar card board boxes. I have one bank that refused to order halves for me so I go there to dump all my halves that I don't spend. They are still sitting at that branch. Cheers
Wish me some NIFC luck everyone!!! Now I say NIFC in real life too thanks to @joeykoins
These nickels look spectacular, wish me some MS68 luck there too

Tough to tell...I often find large runs of many brand new quarters and dimes with slight lamination defects (I guess is what you could call them) like that on them in various patterns.

Much better Joey! Yes, I believe it's struck thru grease or some other kind of liquid. The area in question seems to splatter outward, to the rim of the coins. I have a couple of those somewhere. I'll have to look for them.
Lol I haven't even started on those halves and nickels yet and I had to back out to run an errand... couldn't resist a last second stop at Chase. I see many shiny quarters on the ends and then these customer rolls of small dollars...
I got a teller I know and she said they've been rolling them and separating the dollars for a couple hours lol..."Separating???", I said innocently
She showed me a few they hadn't rolled yet that were stuck together, looks like maybe someone spilled soda on them lol and the tellers were using paperclips to get them separated lol/cringe
Looked like maybe they had 300 to 400 total...I took 4 completed rolls they made just out of curiosity

Here you go Joey. Didn't think I would find them so fast. Not quarters, halves.
What is the cause of these strikes and what do you call them. After 5 boxes I have seen more than a few like these.
Thanks. Cheers.
Those look like worn dies + grease to me.

Well. After my 15 quarter roll search. NO W's. Just some grease filled 2020d Salt River Bay Quarters and 65 2021d Crossing the Delaware Quarters. In which, I'll be sifting through later for some 67 or 68's. Hopefully, anyways? Back to looking for some more silver nickels in my nickel box.

Well, found $500.00 I forgot about in one of my drawers. Looks like another box of Halves will be on it's way here. Surprised how excited some of the people get when I pay in halves. Some think they are dollar coins, more than once had to point out they are halves. Happy hunting, Cheers.
Should I continue collecting rolls ... do you think this was a good deal?
I'm new here but not new to collecting... 66 years of it. Now, I'm not a roll enthusiast .. or should I say have not been until recently. If you agree let me know. Here's what I found (just an example or two.. won't bore you) in a penny roll for $30 on Ebay... any comments? Oh, if they are in holders... it is just that I respect the coins I have and will always treat them with respect .. They are our heritage.
Most likely die surface damage. Note it does not appear on the coin's raised surfaces such as George's face, but does appear on the fields which are the outermost surfaces of the actual die. Would also explain multiple similar finds before damage was caught and die was swapped out.
If it does appear on raised surfaces as well, likely struck through grease where grease on die gets smashed and squirts outward toward coin perimeter giving the cartwheel affect.

Hello Everyone,
Should I continue collecting rolls ... do you think this was a good deal?
I'm new here but not new to collecting... 66 years of it. Now, I'm not a roll enthusiast .. or should I say have not been until recently. If you agree let me know. Here's what I found (just an example or two.. won't bore you) in a penny roll for $30 on Ebay... any comments? Oh, if they are in holders... it is just that I respect the coins I have and will always treat them with respect .. They are our heritage.
Please excuse my post in the Comments area on the Indian cents found in a roll... I'm just new and have to get use to the site here. Thanks... Jeff
