    Good search. It still amazes me that walker halves can be found in rolls!

    Yeah....I was happy to say the least. It's amazing to see the difference between the two types of half bags I can get at Bank of America though. They either come in a clear plastic bag or a burlap sack. I think I've gotten halves twice in the burlap and never found silver in those, while in the clear bags I've done VERY well.....:)

    Look what I just found in my halves I already had! this is a 1966 kennedy. I think it's probably strike doubling...I only see the doubling on "Half Dollar" and the mint mark.

    Paul;
    The D is a repunched mintmark, nice one.
    The doubling look like strike doubling (or mechanical doubling) we'd need clearer pictures.

    Nice finds Paul, just makes you want to head back for $1000 more eh?

    Frank, the D is on the same coin as the doubling....to you think it is just strike doubling too? And yes, skm, I do want more....but first I have to roll all of these and return them to another bank -_-

    N:
    You have to remember that in those days, the Mintmark was added later.
    So, the old rule was that on a double die, if the mintmark was doubled, then it was generally a fake or strike doubling.
    There are many repunched mintmarks that are not double dies, and visa versa.
    Which, I think is your case, but the doubling is deceptive, it does appear to be flat & 'shelf like' typical of strike/mechanical doubling.

    Good job. I didn't think they released the 2006 for circulation. Someone must have cracked open a mint roll or bag?

    Yep. That's exactly what happened =p
