Bob,
I was wondering the same thing only with 1997 halves. I Have noticed alot of 1997D halves in AU/BU condition in all the boxes I have gone through. Maybe they have been sitting in my area for a while? Jeff

Cool, hope you will get find some Christmas surprises!

Just finished 4 boxes of halves.. this is what I found: The (5) 40% " keepers " were found in two rolls out of all four boxes.

(3) - 1966
(1) - 1967
(1) - 1969
and
(1) 2008S proof
(1) - 1982 " no fg "

Out of 10 boxes of halves: 6 boxes had no silver. The other 4 boxes: box #1 19 40%ers, 4 90%ers and 1 Franklin! Box #2 17 40%ers, 4 90%ers and 2 Franklins! box #3 1 40%er 1 90% and 1 Franklin. Box #4 1 40%er. Totaling out at 38 40%ers, 9 90%ers and 4 Franklins!!! Plus I found a 1942 wheatie and a 62 silver dime in the rejected coin slot on the coin machine at my bank!!!!

Seems like you tend to get most good finds out of a single box or two.

That is what I have noticed also. The silver is usually spread throughout the box if it is a really good box. If you fail to find silver in the first 10 rolls then the remainder of the box may be a loss.

$221 in loose halves and customer rolled coins.

Only 1 x '67 & 1 x 81s

Pretty weak for customer rolled coins, I thought.

Got a bag of $500 in Ikes

Actually after counting them, there were only 499, but since around half of them were UNC, I won't make a big deal of it. No silver in the bag though, but there was a 1776-1976-S Bicentennial proof in the bag that would probably grade PR40. Pretty rough and has been circulated, but can still see those proof mirrors.

190 in customer halves (19 rolls from 3 banks)

out of 180 (18 rolls) 4 40%, 1 76S (clad), one 82 no FG

Out of one roll:


2 Clad.

7 Frankies.
11 Walkers.

WOW! (and yes, I yelled)

Went to the bank and got 500$ in halves, and 100$ in nickels. I also got a silver 1964 dime from the teller.

Searched the box of halves last night:

5x 40%ers. I forgot to note what years they were before I threw them into my silver box.

1x 1987P
1x 2004P
1x 2005D
19x 2001P according to my Redbook these weren't issued for circulation. Are these worth holding onto? All 19 of them, or should I just keep a few nice ones?


I also got what I thought was silver at first.....It's a 1983P that has been dipped or plated in silver, or something silver ish. It also has the years 1960 and 1980 stamoed on each side of Kennedy. I'll try and get a quality picture of it and post it here.

ok, here are the pics:

I, concur, WOW.

That just about equals what I have found searching through nearly $10,000 in halves (13 Franklins, 5 Walkers).

About $120 in silver for $10... not bad.

I need a roll like that!
