Searched 2 boxes of half dollars today ($500 each, $1000 total) This is all I got. No silver. Only five NIFC's. Three of which I may throw back. A pretty worn 2002-P, A ring of death 2006-D, a 2007-D, a 2009-P scratches and a nice 2012-D. Also- 1987-S proof, 1993-S proof and a 1999-d with the Delaware horse sticker on it. These are the worst two boxes yet. I had been averaging about 14 NIFC keepers per box. Also, found a 1972-D no FG. Really 2 skunk boxes almost, but the 1972-D no FG may have saved the day. It is not as high a grade as the photo seems, most likely a VF, but it is problem free. These sell for $30-$50 on ebay. (True No FG's)
The dark spot is just dirt. Sorry, I am not a good photographer, even with good equipment. There is no part of the FG on the coin.

Good going ,dude. Sure No Silver. At least you found some NIFC's, 2 Proofs and the hard to capture, 1972d NO FG. I'm waiting from PCGS To let me know if mine is one officially? I don't care what grade, just as long as it's the variety. Good pickins

The no FG coins were struck from very worn and tired dies and were missing detail straight off the coin presses. Yours seems to be quite a bit better than VF even from that picture, simply because I think I see mint luster.

1 W Rockefeller beauty out of two home rolled rolls.

Two banks.
What I did find was somebody else's 50 statehood quarters collection.
Took me a few double takes. New coin edge and out pops a low 2000's P and D. They just kept popping out!
Going back Monday in hopes of finding a Wisconsin extra leaf... lol

Favorite bank now!
Have a great feeling this weekend is going to be EPIC!
I love my Chases! Although my favorite one is only about 5 miles from the Denver Mint
...I guess in those quiet towns your Chases get halves lol. Literally never at any of mine. All my halves have come from the Credit Union.
Coins are Neato!

So, earlier in the week stopped in at a local Arco station, payed with $20.00 in halves. Guy gets excided and askes if I have any more (MUHAHA), I say yes. Turns out he is hurting for any change, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. Told him I have lots of coins at home. Today went in with $155.00 in all of the above ($25.00 in pennies). He was a happy camper. I asked if he wanted more halves. He said people like the halves so bring me more!. Bottom of my closet fount two big bags of searched pennies so now I know where to take them. Picking up a box of halves on Tuesday. I found a lot of faint FGs but no true ones yet. Cheers.

Two NIFC Beauties
2010p
2015d Toner
I might send in the 2010p? MS 68?
I don't know on the 2010. Out of the 200 + 2018s I have found only three looks like they are worthy to send in. They do not have the two little lines where the E is in States on your coin. I am trying to be as nit-picky as possible before I send in the ten best that I have. Cheers.
I finally went through my "sticky" rolls of small dollars I posted a week ago or so...
It wasn't soda or something it was some kind of adhesive, like rubber cement. Those poor tellers spend hours separating them to roll them lol. Some were still so sticky they were basically still glued inside the rolls lol.
I took home 4 rolls. Actually @joeykoins you probably would've enjoyed these lol.
The highlights were this 2000P that's almost as nice as one from a mint roll! A couple unfortunate dings but it is absolutely beautiful.
Then this 2008 P that is entirely covered with the cement (it's currently in the acetone) but I can see it's in beautiful condition, with a mintage of just over 1.8 million
And then a Kennedy that looks to be pretty nice as well (also currently in the acetone), it's actually worth something even in MS66...I'll post the acetoned results later!

I thought these are fairly common and not that rare but Ebay buyers have paid $20-$70 and only 5 have been listed. I do see the $50,000 coin but I am calling BS on that one.🤣😂
Back in 2019 these were going for $12 if you were lucky. I know because a friend mine gave me two out of new coin rolls. Been waiting to see if I should send them off to be graded😎
But NOT the 2019p DDO. It's the

It all went well so I decided to go for a walk in the park on the way home...

I’m trying to upgrade my 82 zinc LD it’s currently a 67, wanting a 69, but will settle for a 68 or three
I purchased a few rolls on the bay and even though they showed some corrosion each roll still had some strong possibilities so I went back and cleaned the guy out.
Crazy is this hobby, I could have bought a graded 68 for around $100 but instead WE like the hunt, maybe it’s greed but I doubt it. It’s just plain fun even if it ends up costing me $300 for a $100 coin because it was still a shot of a $10,000 coin.
The graded coin came from a customer roll.
