<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2447364, member: 15929&quot;]Out of the thousands upon thousands of dollars in Kennedy Half Dollars that I used to order from my bank, there were many times when no silver was coughed up.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were also times when I could not believe the amount of silver I received.</p><p><br /></p><p>During times tough times, folks are prone to cash in their stores of coins. Some folks separate the silver while others cpuld not care less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recall one incident where my wife noticed, through the drive thru window which was large enough to view darn near the entire length of teller positions, that some woman was turning in multiple bags of Kennedy Half Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>She called me, I drove to the bank and purchased $993 dollar in Kennedy half follars. When I asked the teller if she&#039;d reminded this woman that there was siler in the clear plastic bags, she said yes and that the woman had responded that she just wanted to be rid of them. She did not want to take the time to go through each one.</p><p><br /></p><p>That ended up with me pulling 10 full rolls of 40% Silver coins out in addition to lots of 90% coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bags ended up being a little short in actual counts but I still walked away with a $1,000 profit just because some one did not want to take the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was in the right place at the right time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The moral of the story is &quot;If you don&#039;t look, you&#039;ll never see&quot; as conditions are constantly changing.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, I&#039;ve stopped ordering Kennedy&#039;s from my current bank simply because:</p><p><br /></p><p>A. There was just not enough silver </p><p>B. I got tired of looking for CnClad Varieties which, although once popular, were getting more and more difficult to sell. Even Graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>For what its worth, I pulled a bunch of silver from bags while I lived in Colorado and a bunch of Varieties from living in California.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing to consider is the many Native American Casion&#039;s still use Kennedy Half Dollars to pay $1 black Jack bets. As such, they always have a considerable supply on hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
