All is well that ends well

My latest half dollar box contained my first 1964 Kennedy (90% Ag) as an Ender. Unfortunately, there was no more silver to be found in this box.



Now let me tell you the rest of the story ...

I went to my dump bank and fed the unwanted coins to the coin counter. I got a receipt - so far so good. I went to the teller and she made the appropriate deposit to my account. Again, so far so good. Then, out of habit, I asked her if she had any half dollar coins. Typically, the answer is "No, another coin collector came in earlier, and we gave all of the halves to him." But today, the teller said, "Sure. I have two. Would you like these?"



Of course, I said, "Yes."

My question is, can I count the 1968 (40% Ag) coin as coming from the box of halves? Or must I count this coin as a "teller" find. I just want to keep my stats straight. Thanks!

Either it came out of a box, or it didn't.

Does it really matter?

Nice ender, too bad there wasn't any more silver in the box. The '68D would be a teller tray/loose half find. Seems kinda unusual that a bank with a coin counter would have any loose halves but its a good thing you are in the habit of asking. Now that I think of it, I've scored occasional loose half silver from banks that have had coin counters too - even a lone "58 Ben from one bank a few years ago. Just never know for sure till you ask.

H$H!

It came from a teller tray, and from a different bank to boot (I hope).

It came from the teller tray right? And NOT the box right? Then...

What is the value of those Kennedys? I have a whole box of em, I got when my Mother passed on. Had no idea why she was keeping them until now.

The value is $0.50ea unless . . .

Unless they are pre-1971, then the value is melt value of the silver content (with a few exceptions)
Unless they are a known collectible variety (ie, no FG), then the value is what you could sell to a collector for
Unless they are modern Ag commemoratives, then the value value is melt value of the silver content
