Hello everyone, I just started coin roll hunting bank wrapped rolls of halves this summer. I do about 4 boxes a week now and have done 39 total boxes to date (getting 4 more tomorrow). I have always been into collecting something, from sports cards/memorabilia, to vintage toys, to vintage video games, and now silver!
Anyway, my dad has always collected coins, and he always has asked for halves at the bank when he cashes checks. His best haul was from many years ago (more than a decade) when he received 3 rolls of Walkers and Franklins and two rolls of 40%ers. He hasnt found much at the bank in a while, but he still asks.
Earlier in the Spring, I cashed a check and asked if they had any halves. The teller had 1 roll, and she also said she had 5 Ike dollars, so I took those too. There was a Franklin, a 64 Kennedy, and 2 40%ers in the roll... and best of all, one of the "Ikes" was actually a Peace dollar. This sparked my interest, and the next month, I ordered 1 box of halves. I went through all of them and found 1 40%er. Not really worth my time and effort, but I had so much fun doing it (sort of like opening a box of baseball cards)! Since then, as I said before, I have opened about 38 more boxes. I started out VERY hot, then went on a 12 box skunk streak, then have been slowly finding more since. I also have received 11 more 40%s in customer wrapped rolls from the bank (all in one roll) and 3 from a Turkey Hill gas station.
My best box so far was one of my first... it had 5 Walkers, 2 64 Kennedys, and 8 40%ers.
Customer-wrapped rolls & other various finds:
02 - 90%ers
15 - 40%ers
01 - Peace dollar
05 - Clad Ikes
In total, I have found the following inside of the bank wrapped rolls (47 boxes - updated 9/29/13):
12 - Walkers (all in that one box)
07 - Franklins
10 - 64 Kennedys
70 - 40% Kennedys (including a 68 Proof & 1970 proof)
10 - Proofs
10 - Strange Gold-Plated Coins (some with various things on them)
06 - Strange Silver-Plated Coins
01 -
Maybe you guys could help me out on this other coin. What the hell happened to it?
