Hello everyone,
New to this forum. Just purchased 20 coin rolls of the non-circulated 50 cent coins. If I take them from the rolls to look at will that lower the value? Have not received them yet so I do not know what or who put them in the rolls. Is there a specific roll wrapper that indicates its from the US gov?
Any information would be good since I'm just now getting into silver and gold PM's.

Even if they look like this, they've probably been opened many times and searched many times, especially since they are Halves. 1964-P and 1964-D Kennedys are common, but if there is an exceptional coin or two, it might be worth having them graded.
If you think that the rolls are unopened and original in every way, post pictures of them and wait before opening them, because there may be a small premium for an original, unopened roll.
If you have any reason to think that your seller may not be reliable, you should inspect the rolls to ascertain that all of the coins are indeed 90% silver.
Here's what the crimped ends of an unopened and original roll ought to look like:
For some reason, I've been having problems uploading image files that I've recently cropped and saved. Hey, the pics are working now.

Nowadays bulk bagged coins are bank roll wrapped at the nearest federal reserve branch hub by a contractor before going to the bank. We have one such location here in Jax, FL. They were kind enough to roll up some Washington dollars with missing edge lettering for me in 2007 that made it from the mint. They receive bulk coins from the mint in very large bags on pallets and also re-roll coins turned over to them by the banks. The US Mint continues with limited issues of rolled coins in US Mint wrappers that are bought by the collector directly from the mint.

No, not directly from the Mint. The Federal Reserve Banks did send out rolls though, and they were marked as such. Original bankwrapped rolls are relatively easy to determine also, especially half dollar rolls, most of which have been opened. The original crimping from the 1950's to the mid 1960's never looks the same after it's been opened, especially now that the paper has aged.
