<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 648527, member: 19456&quot;]I did my first EVER roll of half dollars today...Most of them were beat up badly, it looks like they went through a weed-whacker several times. The bad ones all had no reeding left, either. There are several casinos in very close distance, I am thinking they may use them. I am within a days drive of Atlantic City, Mohegan Sun, Yonkers, and at least a few more I can&#039;t recall the names of. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BUT....one coin in there made the whole roll. It&#039;s a 1974, and it&#039;s an error! It appears to be a large grease-strike, and there is a large, smooth indent right in front of Kennedy&#039;s ear (part of same is missing) and going up into his hair. It made my day. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oddly enough, the coins were either early 70s or 90s. There was not a single coin in the roll from the 1980s. The newest was 1997. 71 was the oldest, there were two. Also, two Bi Centennials, both P and D mints. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only date I needed for my collection was 1991 P but it is one of the worst from the roll. So the search continues....It surprises me that that was the only one I did not have, as Half dollars are the coins I have the least of, modern clad era anyway. I am missing 23 date/mintmark combinations in the clad era alone and it was 24 this morning. I was hoping for better luck on the first roll. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I believe I got two upgrades for coins I already had, however, one of which being 1980 P, there were two in the roll and one of them is about uncirculated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know it&#039;s not as impressive as some people, but for me this was a very good day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
