Hey all, I thought I'd share my best half dollar finds of 2019. I did more volume this year than any other year, and these are the most unusual finds out of the boxes. Almost all of these came from the first half of the year which relatively excellent hunting. The second half of the year, not so much.
1903 Barber, 1893 Columbian Exposition, 2002, 2006 and 2010 modern silver proofs, and probably the most unusual find of the year, the 1993 Madison Commemorative silver proof (which was an ender BTW!) No high dollar coins, but certainly rarities in circulation.
Also harvested the below crop of 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1976 proof and business strike silvers!
In addition, I finally got up the courage to start asking to look through the coin machines' internal reject bins while dumping. Most of the branches I use don't mind me looking, and I'll pull out some perfectly good clad along with the rare lucky piece of GOLD!
Never know what you'll find! I was very lucky to find these and actually haven't found another piece since August.
I'll try to make another post soon to give the full breakdown of the year. There were certainly some ups and downs. Happy hunting!
