Coin Roll Searching Finds With Son - Kennedy Half Dollars

Nickcap

We found some DDOs, DDRs, and a few No FGs. No big Doubled Dies. We are halfway through looking at the Coins for Varieties.

We also found:

3 x 90% Silver
12 x 40% Silver





We almost finished his Kennedy Half set. Cannot Find 1887 P & D

Congrats!!!
I'd say you scored big time on that one!

My one and only search through a $500 box og halfs yielded zero silver and no DD's that I could spot- might be my observation skills on that part though.

You did great!!!

There is probably a reason you have not filled the 1987 slots. There were only 2,890,758 ea of the P&D mint marks and they were issued only as parts of the 1987 Uncirculated and Souvenir sets and never saw circulation. There is however a chance of pulling them out of a roll...good luck.

Thanks for the responses.

I will probably jusy have my son buy the Coins at an upcoming coin show.

We still have to get the Kennedy's from 2002-Present.


I just liked finding rhe silver Coins. Luckily my Father-in-Law's Credit Union has a coin counting machine and do not charge for change.

I really do not want to roll these Coins.

To bad 1976 Coins don't have a premium. I have probably $50 in 1776-1976 Kennedys

The 1970-D is also a "mint set only" coin, 40% silver and not all that expensive.

I have done a lot of roll searching and have found most of the Kennedy Half dollars, all the way up to 2010! Although, I have only kept the silver and proofs(10 I think is the count) I have found. Congrats on a good time!

How do you know if they are a proof?

Is it the mint mark?

Are the proofs worth anything? How about the NIFC ones from the late 2000's?

Good story,Isn't it amazing after all of us collectors that have been hunting/searching for the silver Kennedys.That the silver ones are still out there. The banks,credit unions,stores and currency stores as well. Amazing! One day it will bottom out,sad to say.A beautiful series will all be melted.Oh well,nice father you are to teach your son the ropes.
