Ive seen them on TV, online and books but never held one ever. My landlady had one and i wont lie but it is the prettiest thing ever. the way it felt, the way it sounded. simply awesome
well its funny, i decided to take a gamble today, wife and I wanted to start collecting Half dollars (Kennedy). Went to the credit union my normal branch didnt have any, went to one where they said they did. Came home looked through them all and happen to find out of the 20 coins I had one from 1969 D. Found out it has 40% silver (as many as you know). Did some quick dummy math, at current price (based off from 34.71) That coin is worth around 5.13. Im extremely happy. Its my wife and I's first silver coin and only payed face value
Check out the videos on youtube. You can watch people searching $1000 boxes of Kennedy Halves for silver. You may also find this link interesting to find the value of junk silver. http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html Good luck,
I would say more like to much time then to much money. Time going to the bank, Time searching, Time taking them back to the bank, etc.... As for the money it don't really cost them anything. In fact I would say they come out ahead if they find a few 1964 Kennedy Halves. If they don't find anything all the lost was the time they spent searching as the coins are still worth what they paid for them at the bank.
you better stop there of start making room in your budget, coin/bullion collecting is addicting. it is not as much as some, but i some how made it to where i have $150 at minimum each week to spend on this stuff. i just got lucky i have a girlfriend who is a coin collector.
