[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 72450, member: 3534"]My stepfather got me into coins. He always treasured his silver over everything else. In fact, I don't think he ever collected nickels or pennies. That is probably how I got started with it. I search Kennedy halves for fun. I got started quite by accident one day. I went to the bank to buy one roll, hoping to find a bicentennial half to show my boss. Inside was a 1967, and the rest is history. Finding silver in rolls is almost like finding lost treasure. No, you won't get rich off of a few nice 40% silver Kennedy halves, but the excitement of searching and discovering a 64 Kennedy or a Franlkin or a Walker has its rewards too. And consider that there are thousands of collectors out there who would snatch them up if they could, and millions of non-collectors who'd keep them if they only knew what they were holding in their hands. Will silver go to $30 or $40 an ounce one day? Who knows. Maybe if the Hunt brothers are still around!
