Roll-searchers, post your results!

Picked up 3 $20 rolls of Kennedy halves from Wells Fargo yesterday and discovered all 3
Were solid 40%ers 65-68.
The teller had said she had more if I wanted so I jumped in the car and rushed back to the bank, by that time she was on her lunch break and I waited around the shopping mall for 45 min or so until she got back.
Worth the wait. Scored another 3 full $20 rolls (40%).
I got to chatting with the teller who told me the halves were brought in recently
By a young man who's Grandfather had passed away.
All said and done 240 halves=35.49 OZ=$438 silver melt value (conflation silver melt calculator) except for one 63 Franklin that slipped in there.
I plan to sit on them for a while and see what silver does in the next couple of months before I sell or more likely trade at my local dealer.
Some of the 66 & 67(almost half) are really gem condition, so I’m thinking of holding on to a few that just seem too nice to consign to the smelter.
It's amazing what’s still out there but as you guys well know it takes equal parts luck and persistence to find.

I have never seen $20 rolls of $1/2 before.
Are you sure that they wern't $10 rolls?

Or they must have been pretty big.

 

The $20 rolls are less common than the $10s but you run into them from time to time.
I shot a couple of web-cam captures of the rolls i scored yesterday.
check it out.

 

1 2004-D out of $15 worth of halves.

My latest find

 

Lots of wheats

This happened around a month ago but forgive me because I just now saw your thread.

I went to the local bank to see if they had any 2009 pennies. The lady said that all we have is older rolls. I got about 10 rolls to see if I would get lucky. As I started to open them, I saw wheat after wheat. The other rolls were the same. I went straight back to the bank and ask the teller if they had any more. I ended up getting 20 dollars worth of wheat rolls and another 10 worth of mixed rolls (wheats and memorial) with the newest date being 1975.
I did ask if the person brought any other denominations but they said no.

The wheats ranged from 1909 to 1958, with several before 1940.

 

Great find sweat wheatz. Here's my latest find with help from another member; It's a 1955D-1DO-001

 

It's because that kind of doubling is considered to be damage, not the doubled die. This was supposed to be a reply to post # 1830, "I can find no information of these on coppercoins.com , conecaonline.org , lincolncentresource.com or the Web in gerenal."

 

WAY NIce finds. I searched thirty rolls this week fro two different banks and found nothing.

 

I go to local bank and unimart have mostly gotten nothing, but i have gotten two 69 s double die and two kennedys 64 at the local bank the 69 i got at unimart and i only purshed 5 dollars wort of pennies to get em think this week i do the half thing at the bank once again but i like too get the 72 pennies the people are changing in alot of change they were hording in these hard times its an good time too be an collecter .

 

KFFMNMK- you said you found TWO 69 s double dies- these are very rare. Probably machine doubling. Last one found in MS 64 I think went for 6 figures- a guy in Michigan or something.

 

Miine are doubled at the trust and liberrty then the other one is doubled at thein god we trust and date none of them are doubled totaly around i would put em at 400 to 3,500 apiece but i have too send em in wonder which woukld be the best company got any suggestions also the S snt doubled on either

 

O YEA , i have too get some pics with an camera when i get it cause they are up in the bank in a safty deposit box

 

ngc

 

ngc its the best one then the president of the local two county club thinks they will bring those price when i send em in i really like going through old rolls here cause we live in an old commumity its in the middle of amish country.

 

Yes- post some photos. That would be helpful. PCGS brings higher values in the market. Post photos as a true double die of the 69 S is quite dramatic like the 1955.

 

I have too get a camera first right now i dont even have an car just a lot of coins but things come in time god willing .

 

Got two boxes of halves I'm gonna go through tomorrow. Did two a few days ago and got a single Franklin. Hope my luck is better this time!
