I was doing my weekly roll searching and fit a couple of rolls of Kennedys 1/2s dated 2005,2006 &2007D. I thought they didn't release anything for circulATION IN THESE YEARS. Am i correct and happy or in my normal disappointed mood? thanks!
It happens. Lately I've been running across lots of 2006s, both Ps and Ds, so many in fact that I've stopped keeping them. This week I got both the 2007-P and D from rolls, the first I've ever seen outside of proof sets. I've now found all 12 coins from 2002-2007 while searching rolls. I imagine someone somewhere bought/is buying them in rolls or bags from the US Mint, sorting them, spending them, and dumping the ones they don't want into circulation. Heck, I think it is great, because it has really helped my collection along!
nice find keep the nice ones and spend the others. Fun to pay for a big gulp with an Ike and Kennedy half.
Ask them to order you a box. Sometimes they will try to charge you, but I wouldn't pay. All they can really do is say "No" if they choose not to help you.
found about 7 2001-d halves out of $50 worth was 2001 put into circulation? they had casino machine rolled wrappers. also picked up $30 Ikes
Yes, 2001 Kennedy halves from both Philly and Denver were released into circulation. Spend the 2001-D's you found.
i might have to ask for halves next time i go to the bank. i know a guy on another forum that has found like 5 silver 2007 proofs! sometimes i wonder how these get in circulation. nice find with the nifc halves. those go for about 65 cents apiece on ebay from what i've seen.
I got a 2006-s proof in a roll last week. I have been running into a few proofs lately. 1 1976 proof, and a 1994 proof. Where do they come from?
Last month I got four 2005-S proofs (3 silver, 1 clad) in the same box of halves. I've found maybe 20 or 25 in the time I've been searching halves, probably 16 or 18 different dates. I'm thinking either some kid got into dad's coin collection, or you've got someone in need of quick cash who rips into a proof set. I like finding proofs because they are different, if not worth more than 50¢ because they've been circulated.
I love finding them in circulation, especially when they fill holes in the book. I've got no plans to buy proof sets to fill the book with, nor do I feel like paying someone else for breaking their proof set(s) up, so when I end up finding one circulation for face value, I'm happy.
I've seen plenty of them. They usually have a full edge, almost makes them look like proofs when looking at the edge of a roll.
Why not? After al,l it costs the bank more than the face value of the box for them to get them for you. You've asked them to do a special favor for you that will result in them losing money if you don't pay the extra for shipping. The 2001-D halves were released in quantity, but only a small number of 2001-P halves were released
Wow! Silver proofs are a real find. I can't believe someone would wreck a proof coin. Do you think any slip out of the mint?
Why not? Because it is a service my bank offers that shouldn't involve an extra cost for someone who has an account there, and has had an account there for several years. Businesses aren't charged when they need boxes of quarters or dimes, so why should I be any different? Moreover, I've discovered that most of those types of "fees" are arbitrary, not mandatory. No where is there any uniformity in the collection of such charges, at least not where I bank. Banks already take the money you keep in your savings and checking accounts, invest it, and make a lot more than the one or two or three percent pittance they pay you in return. That's fine, but if ordering me a box or two of halves per week is too burdensome for them, I'll take my business elsewhere. Besides, I have an inborn resistance to paying for something I can get elsewhere for free.
Not necessarily. Some banks have a set number of boxes they can order for a flat fee that they pay the armored company, so as long as they don't go over their order limit it doesn't cost them extra.
and even more common now is no order limit. Armored Car Carriers are moving towards a delivery charge only for banks that deal directly with a Federal Reserve Repository. One bank I talked to, the fee was around $30 for the first 5 minutes on the banks premises, and $3 per minute for every minute after. This includes their entire order. The Federal Reserve does not charge for coins yet.
