3 BOXES OF HALVES TODAY-SEE THE RESULTS

[Pennyworth]

Today I picked up the 2 boxes of halves that I ordered,but I asked the head teller if she had ordered any additional. She has in the past ordered at least one additional box, and I kept thinking to myself what if that extra box has the silver in it and mine doesn't. LOL So I decided to purchase all 3 boxes of halves.

The first box that I opened contained ALL of the silver and other keepers, the other 2 boxes produced nothing.

Todays Finds:

2-1963D Franklin
4-1964 Kennedy
17- 40% Silver Kennedy
2000S Proof Kennedy
1986-Immigrant Comm.

And for the second week in a row, another Statue of Liberty/Immigrant comm halve. I found that really ODD,since I've been searching halves for about six months and have never seen these until now. How are they
getting into circulation? If I found only one I would think a child might have taken it from a parents collection but two, and in two weeks. Hmmmm

I thought I threw the 2006 half back in the box last week,but I didn't so I thought I would post a photo of it as well.

Do you have any info on the Immigrant comm. I don't seem to find it on any of my list. What is the mintage? Are any of them silver?

Coin Values magazine has it listed under Modern Commemoratives 1982-2004 at the back of the magazine. It's listed as:
Statue Of Liverty-Ellis Island Centennial. There are regular issues: 1986D/1986S clad halves, 1986P/1986S silver dollar, and 1986W gold half eagle. It does not list the mintage.

From the Red Book -

"The first copper-nickel clad half dollar commemorative depicts this country's heritage as a nation of immigrants. The obverse, designed by Edgar Steever, pictures a ship of immigrants steaming into New York harbor, with the Statue of Liberty greeting them in the foreground and the New York skyline in the distance. The reverse, designed by Sherl Joseph Winter, has a scene of an immigrant family with their belongings on the threshold of America. Weight and composition are the same as that of regular issue half dollars."

1986-D (mintage 928,008) with an S-mint proof also (6,925,627)

Pennyworth, I think you might have discovered some political commentary in your roll hunting. With the immigration debate swirling about these days maybe a disgruntled US citizen decided to make a statement against illegal immigration by unloading his commemoratives.

WTG on the silver! Keep up the hunt!

Thanks Immy for looking up the information. I just googled about 20 pages on this coin and this is the best page I found on this coin. http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article_view.chtml?artid=3584&universeid=313&type=1

Immy, your theory sounds very plausible; I think you are right! I just love this place,everyone is helpful and there's a great wealth of knowledge here.

OK so was the 1st box the 3rd box or was it 1 of the 1st 2?

 

[Pennyworth]

Whats the value on the comem, seeing as so few were made?

Coin Values magazine lists the following values and conditions:

MS-65 $8.00 MS-69 $30.00

However, I think a coin is worth what someone will pay for it and these values may be inflated.
