Message:: [QUOTE="TexAg, post: 3017304, member: 86167"]To answer the question directly, yes the halves were very likely searched already by somebody. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> You were smart to discontinue at that point if your goal was only to find silver. However, it's possible the person who searched them before you skipped over certain coins like NIFCs (Not Issued For Circulation - Proofs, 1987-P&D, & halves minted after 2001). It's also possible the previous searcher did not look for certain coins such as the 1974-D Doubled Die Obverse or the 1972-D "No FG" (missing initials of Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro who designed the reverse) or the 1982-P "No FG". There are others mentioned if you search on Kennedy Errors & Varieties, but these are the only ones I have found. And by far of the last 3, the 1974-D DDO has been my most common.Incidentally, the box and wrappers look like NF String which, I've heard said, could have processed them or just provided the wrappers and the box.  Either way, my silver success rate with these types of rolls has been abysmally low (almost non-existent) in my locale. But that's a whole 'nother argument! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie105" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
