Keep in mind that "PF-63" is only for proof coins, i.e. for bicentennial halves, only from the "S" mint. I assume you added "halves" in the edit...
Don't give up! Most banks will give them out even if you're not a customer, so if there are other banks in the area you could try those. Or, ask...
Not only that but a 1970-D half as well- I'm still trying to find one in circulation, no luck yet even after searching $34,000 worth of halves.
I prefer halves since they don't circulate much and you can find some really good condition ones, as well as silver, without too much trouble. On...
Personally, the only reason I've done it on the one or two occasions that I have, is because the coin is so far worn as to be only worth bullion...
There are different methods I've read about to clean silver. There is a method that calls for boiling with tin foil (and baking soda, maybe) but...
Thanks! And the inspirational tales keep coming- went to 6 banks today, 4 with nothing, but at the 5th one I got 3 solid 90% rolls of Franklins...
Not sure I quite understand- do you mean that it is done to prevent someone from tracking the coin based on the number? If so, why is that a bad...
In perusing various listings on eBay I noticed that many of the pictured slabs have part of the barcode or number above or below it blurred /...
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind too, although I wouldn't put it past some people to do the same to an inherited collection that they had no...
Incredible Finds I went to the bank today and got $290 in halves- 16 rolls with someone's initials on them (JR) and 13 rolls without. Of course...
Wow- that's amazingly stubborn on the tellers' part. I can't remember if it was on this board, but if the casinos are that close, I read...
$30 is a pretty small number of halves to tell much about, so it could be that they ordered a box and got all 2000-Ds, in which case they'll have...
Latest Find Well I just finished moving halfway across the country (Iowa to Maine) and wasn't sure how roll searching would be in the new...
Criteria? Not sure what they're using for "key date" criteria- they list the whole run of war nickels which, while worth a premium over face, are...
I know it's not strictly true, but I've found in general that most of the large dates I've bothered to weigh are copper, and most of the small...
Wow- nice finds! I went through $2,000 in halves yesterday and only got 9 40% and 1-1964... :mad:
I search rolls for these types of things (and others) and my personal take on it is that they won't be worth too much due to the average condition...
Could it be an off-metal counterfeit? The "BE" in Liberty really looks like the top is cutoff under the rim, and I bet it'd be really hard to...
It must be a fake, right?
