Nice finds Noost congrats. Went to 4 banks today and could only come up with $9.50 in loose halves and found nothing.

 

Yeah, it was my lucky day....Until I got pulled over for improper lane usage. $130 and 2 pts. Having a hearing and gonna try to get the points knocked off and community svc. instead of $$.

 

i got lucky penny roll searching today i found 1956 philly 1947 philly 1944 philly a canadian from 1981 and my best one of the night 1944 s and i already have the 1944 d can i get much for the individual 1944 coins and can i get a premium if sold together

 

Happy Happy, Joy Joy!!!!!!!

Bought 170.00 worth of halves from my bank. 13 Frankies, 19 Walkers, 2 90% Kennedys and 3 40%. Then I picked up my box of halves from my other bank and pulled out 19 40% Kennedys. I still have to go through the box of pennys to! In the past 3 weeks I have plucked over 120 silver halves out of circulation!!!!!!!! Happy Happy, Joy Joy!!!!!!!:kewl:

 

I also found a couple of bicentenial halves that look like there silver. How can you tell for sure?

 

GypsyTears.
Are they "S" mint marked? That's the first sign. Also, compare the "look" and edge to any of your 40% halves. Any silver 1976 are 40% so they would look and sound the same (not that I condone dropping your coins!)
The mint did make cupronickel S mint marked halves though so you have to go by weight, appearance and sound.

 

Yea, the edges are toned to a dark purple. I will try the sound test again and check the mint mark too. Thanks.

 

In a box of cents last night we found a 1928 in G-8.

IKE's

Well, my roll searching luck has not been too good lately. I have searched 5 boxes of halves, 4 of quarters, 4 of dimes without finding any silver. Sigh, today I had to go to a relatives house about 45 minutes away. I got in the area a little early so I thought I would walk in a bank or two looking for halves. I went in 3 banks and netted a total of $6 in halves. Oddly enough, the first bank had two IKE dollars and the teller offered them instead. The second bank had $80 in IKEs and the 3rd had exactly four more rolls of IKEs. I would have never thought I would only find 12 half dollars but find 162 big IKE dollars.

Crazy to me!

hope ya bought the ikes i do pennies myself more chances to get something friday i got a 44 p 44 s 47 p 56 p and a canadian from 1981 completed my 44 set so a great day can i get a premium for selling all three together or just book price which is what exactly im new to this hobby

 

Worst luck ever today with nickel searching. $ 20 yielded only a 56-D. Nothing else under 1960.....

 

Congrats! We're they all hand rolled? Any pics?

 

I don't get to search many half dollar rolls and I don't collect any after 1970, but are there certain ones I should look for other than silver,silver clads and proofs? I also wondered if nickels are worth the time to search? thanks Kent

 

Yes hand rolled. I would post my pics if I knew how to resize the pics.

 

Picked up some rolls and thought they were already searched as they were in string & son rolls that were opened and folded over on one side. To my surprise I found a silver S mint bicentennial, a 64 and 2X68-D

 

GypsyTears. WOW, great pickups especially 19 Walkers....incredible.

I went to about 7 banks and got 22 bucks of halves with 1 64 and 6 40%ers. Then, one more bank netted me $390 in hand rolled halves. I looked through them and there was nothing except for in one roll......which had 12 40%ers all in a row.

I also got 5 rolls of LP2 and 16 rolls of LP3. I consider it a good weekend!!
