First Try Coin Roll Hunting-With Pictures

[Baldingboy]

I went to the bank on Friday and decided to give coin roll hunting a try . I read up on it a little and then called around until I found a bank that had some half dollars in the vault. I bought all they had (which was only $40 worth). I only found one silver, but was happy there was at least one. It was a 1964 Kennedy half in very good condition. I will definitely try this again!
Thanks to everyone on here for posting their tips.

I think the one on the very front may be a proof.

Looks like it could be.

BB....did you bring Mastereagle with you? or were you afraid he'd scare the tellers

that's how it starts...one coin, then another, then another and suddenly you realize you've become addicted. it's a fun hobby with the chance to score some pretty nice stuff.

congrats on your find and good luck in the future.

Are you talking about the 1964 I have pictured by itself? I thought proofs were only "S" mintmark. This one has no mint mark.

The crew is referring to the first coin in the forefront of the first picture of the heap of halves. I myself don't think so. I think it is more due to the lighting. Anyway, congrats on your first. Now don't go telling everyone how cool of a hobby this is.
