How big is the Loomis half dollar "pool"?

I’ve already dumped the coins and boxes for the week

I really detest marked coins.

 

Just noticed Sam C, that ONE Halves box is numbered; the other is not.

I don't remember which had the 26 40%'ers...

 

As I said you only mark 1 in 100 as a sample to see what comes back, and with something benign and washable so as not to damage the coin.
I don't agree with the person who red marked every single coin.

 

Just noticed something else guys; there's a NON- Hanging Chad on top of the box of Halves.

Wonder if Gore is interested???

 

BTW, I recently found a marked '67 on the bottom end of a machine/bank roll - clearly visible without opening the roll. Maybe someone is hunting for pre 65's only!

 

Your a good person in my book.

 

This upsets me.

 

Looks like the bottom box is 6206. I get those boxes when our local Loomis is running low. My location is 4297 according to A Loomis driver

 

What year is that one. Will mess up tone trying to get that off

 

1974P.

 

Doesn't acetone desolve and remove magic marker without even having to rub with a q-tip? I have done this many times on halves to pull a really nice NIFC for my Dansco book. Actetone does no harm and does not remove or degrade toning

 

Thank God. Now i can go back to loving the markers again. Phew

 

And the markers smell funky also - LOL. For the newbies lurking in this thread : don't sniff the acetone.

 

I assumed it would destroy the toning. I will give it a try on a practice coin.

 

That is ridiculous and also why I detest marking coins. No reason for it. Enjoy searching for silver but don't ruin it for everyone else who isn't. Not even 1.

 

Where do I go for these half dollars from Loomis? Ive asked banks and small banks. They dont show up anywhere. I really love half dollars and would like to spend $500 on a box of them, but dont know where to buy them.

 

Banks are basically it sorry can't get them just as i have tried for the last years.

 

Put me in the anti-marking club.

STOP MARKING COINS! It's lazy and selfish.
