[QUOTE="jimmy-bones, post: 66154, member: 2794"]I am one of the many on this forum who search half dollars. Each week I order and search $1,000 face value. I have been at it for over a year now, and have found some odd things to date, (Tokens, Canadians, Magician coins, other denominations, etc) However, this week tops them all. Each week when I open a box, I immediately look at the top coin in each roll. You can generally tell by the color of the coin if its silver right away. Well, this week there were 3 rolls as such. I opened the first one.. and found 13 silver Halves ...8 silver halves were in the second,... and 9 in the third. This in itself is an unbelieveble turnout. But what is bizzare is that the first roll contained 6-1952 AU Franklins all in a row. The second, 5-1967 BU Kennedys, and the third 5-1964 BU Kennedys also all in a row. Keep in mind these Halves come either form the Fed or a money processing center. They are not bank customer rolls. Then... half way through the box another single roll contained 7-2002-D BU Kennedys, all in a row :eek: The rest of the box was normal, yielding the normal finds. I have some theories but no explanation. I though other bank roll searches would find this interesting and share their thoughts.....[/QUOTE]
