1/2 Dollar Roll Finds Yesterday and Today

Nothing too exciting to report but it's better than a kick in the head I guess.

1 1964(90%)
1 1967(40%)
1 1969(40%)
1 1973-S PROOF (fun but no silver) - I have about a dozen different date Clad Proofs in my collection now just from roll searching.
1 1976-S Silver-Clad PROOF (40%)

I also came across 2 Gold Plated Clad Halfs.... image

$25.92 in Silver Melt at the time of this post. Probably one of my worst days worth of searching but I plan to try again on Monday. image

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I am glad someone is finding silver, I have been being deprived of the noble metal for the past several months now.

    Not to shabby. How many rolls did you have to go through?

    Yesterday and Today ended up being 31 Rolls total. image I had planned to pick up a lot more but I ran out of time.

    I will get another 20-40 rolls on Monday and see what happens...last summer I had a ton of success. I hope I can return to that soon. image

    So you're the one hitting up the banks and nabbing all those rolls...
    "some guy was in here yesterday and took everything we had." is what I hear every time I ask for halfs lately...
    I guess I'll have to stick to cents.image

    Be happy you're getting silver for face. I hit several different banks weekly and they never have halves.

    If this is your worst day you should have looked at the last $500 box that I looked at. (Zero, Nada, Zilch) Then this day would seem pretty good. I have also fould one gold plated clad Kennedy. I also enjoy finding the clad proofs.

    Hey, you have over $25 value for face of $2.00.

    A good return of 92% with the fun of finding them.

    good score that makes #2.

    I found one maybe a month ago.



    my boxes have been either pretty good or total duds lately.

    last run was 0.00 silver, the only upside was the box was net over by 50 cents.
    (to make up for the previous run where I received a quarter instead of a half)


    other recent runs had me pulling about $5 of 40% face out of each box

    I still mark my coins with a sharpie and in the dud boxes I do find an occaisional coin I've marked. So, I am getting some recycles from the bank.

    special ordered by the $500 box. I've got cash that I just keep turning over from boxes into coin machines then into boxes again.

    I figure .25% interest is making me less money than the junk silver finds. imageimageimage

    I started marking them by roll on the edges with red or green marker. it was fast but was messy.

    I then moved to black sharpie behind his head. I used blue a sharpie once when all I did was check for silver and dump them without looking for varieties.

    I have seen a few of my marks up to 2 previous times, making them the third time I saw them.

    One box had maybe 25-30% of my marked coins once. I was wondering if I was coming to the end of the line with that bank, but future boxes have produced well. and that was the only time I found that many in one box.

    I'm still pulling silver maybe every other box on average.

    (and a side not, I've found very few 64D compared to 64. maybe 15% are 64D. I've yet to find an attractive AU 64D for the roll find album)

    Your finds are amazing compared to mine. I have searched well over a hundred rolls (maybe two hundred) and never found a silver Kennedy ( or Walker or a 40% coin).... One day though... I keep trying, though with less enthusiasm.. Cheers, RickO
