Still searching the half dollars.
Ended up with another 1985 and 1986 clad proofs.
They will make some youngsters happy and maybe entice them to become collectors.
I also have found 2 drilled Kennedys.
Still have 22 opened rolls to view.

The "B" reverse variety is when on the reverse. The word, "States" the letters, "e&s" are separated. Most are close, almost touching. The variety is obviously separated from each other. Check Google.
They run from 1956-1964. I'll show pics later.
Jesus son - how the Heck do remember all of that information??????????? I barely remember how to tie my shoes in the morning
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Got this little goody for couple bucks over the contents!
Good thing too because these are listed for only $50 at MS68 graded by our host lol.
The real question is will the "toning" be utterly unforgiving and brutal or will there be some loveliness in there?!
Take a look, I actually laughed when I saw it in hand. I hope it ends up being a fun roll!

Hey @joeykoins you recently found those struck through paternal twins...
Well...I found fraternal twins
I just found another floating shingle, so I have an East and a West floating shingle.
I've got proper error set too now

After a quick search of the 2 boxes of Kennedy halves, here is what I found:
10 Proof Clads and 7, 40% Silvers.
Now I have to finish looking at the coins for errors, double dies and varieties.

I'm going to hold on to my P D S box for a bit since the price is currently ridiculous lol. Even just for the S roll.
Managed to get this P D box for $27!!!

Their are two good ways to distinguish the Wide AM reverse from the Close AM reverse:
1) Obviously, if there is a large space between the A and M in AMERICA you are looking at a "Wide
AM". If it appears the A and M are practically touching, you are looking at a "Close AM". Be aware
that there is still a space on "Close AM'' cents. It is just a smaller space.
2) The Initials FG on the reverse are further from the memorial on the "Close AM" reverse. The
initials are a better diagnostic than the AM!
Remember that it is opposite: A "Close AM" has wide initials, and a "Wide AM" has close initials.
Don't just look at the space between the A and M. As dies deteriorate, they spread. The die may
spread far enough to create what appears to be a small space between the A and M. Always look at
both the AM and the initials.
Found this in pocket change last night. Maybe ?

You have a wide "AM" common reverse on 1992. The rare reverse for 1992 Lincolns is the close "AM".
Only bought a box of already searched halves because the teller offered to call me when any halves were turned in. This person dumps his halves at this branch almost weekly. My plan is to tell the teller not to call me when this guy does his turn ins but call when anyone else makes a deposit of halves. She is going to save them for me. Opened a few rolls and its plain to see that he is silver hunter only. The last four boxes I have searched only produced one 40%er. Cheers.
OK, It's been a while since I posted my finds here. So here are my finds for the last month! My one bank went bonkers and decided to double my order for half dollars. I don't know why they did this and I don't care but I am happy about it. I now search $2000 face values in half dollars every week. All of a sudden I can get any denomination from one of my other banks.
I searched $10,000 face value in half dollars and got:
90%- 5 --a 1952-P Benji and 4-1964-P Kennedy's
40% 2-- one 1968-d and a 1969-d
1972 NO FG's -2 These are real nice and are PCGS worthy!
Quarters -Searched $1500 face value and got 3-90% - a 1945-P, 1952-S and a 1964-P
Dimes $650 face value-No finds at all Dimes are no fun. 😢
Nickel Amount searched- unknown $250 face maybe: 23 with die cuds on the sides of Monticello, some with cuds on both sides of Montecello (Not shown) dating from 2011-2021 (All P mints). And a 1929-P buffalo nickel.
Cents: A few common date wheat cents and a 1937-s.
And this just came in yesterday:
A BU box of 2021-P Shield Cents!
GEE! What should I do with this??
Sell it right away for profit?
Keep it closed in box for 5 years and then sell it at market price?
Search through it and try to find one of the many error or double dies that were produced for this year? This may not yield any profit but could be alot of fun! I think you know what I will be doing with it!
Well, great results! Esp. in the 1972d "NO FG's" Beautiful!
Concerning the 2021p cent box.
There is a well known Die break Cud for that year and mint. Going for decent money on the bay, too!
I would search the whole box.
Check Ebay, for what I'm talking about.
Good Luck

Or S's of any years very often.
So this was a satisfying moment from a Loomis roll that also had some 2022 pennies in it
Fun! I'll take it as a good omen
Nothing very special but it made me smile.

I’ll show off the luster/toning later once I’ve broken into them a bit. Whomever originally collected these knew what he/she was a doing…And this very unlikely source has a crapload more as well, shhhhhhhhh.

Okay, not a whole lot to get excited about grade wise. A few borderline but nothing really jumping out at me. A couple of FS, FB, and a possible FBL.
However, one score so far on the 63 proof set, an FS-802 which if it actually is then PCGS will attribute.
