  1. Question about 1965 golden-toned Kennedy half dollar.

    I posted this in Todays Finds, but moving it here..... Today, I paid 25-cents for a shamrock-shaped wooden trivet that has embedded 91-cents in coins: Kennedy Half-dollar, quarter, dime, nickel, penny. All dated 1930 except for 1965 half dollar. The commemorative plate: "Margie; Happy 50th, Dec...
  2. New User here, Just hit the ultimate jackpot! You guys have to check this out!

    So, long story short, I haven't done any roll hunting for a few years due to employment circumstances. However, I now have an income so today when I stopped by the bank to make a withdrawal I thought to myself: maybe I should see if they have any half dollars. The teller told me that she had 3...
  3. Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollar - Error or PMD?

    I have this Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollar with something strange on the reverse. It seems that the "F" in "HALF DOLLAR" is missing.

  6. First box of halves 9 oz. silver

    I was in California two weeks ago and picked up my first box of Kennedy halves at Chase bank and found (15) 90% silver coins (14 from 1964 and 1 Franklin from 1963) and (24) 40% silver coins from 1965-1970. I picked up $190 in rolled coins from another branch that day and found 3 more 90%...
  7. Help identifying mint mark on 1981 Kennedy

    This is my first post on Treasurenet. I love the site, very informative and has been a big help being that I am new to CRHing... I was searching a box of Kennedy halves and this 1981 coin really stood out... the mint mark almost looks like a filled P (i know blob mint marks were quite common in...
