Got another batch of half dollar rolls today -

[Emperor Findus Cladius]

(two boxes, $1000 total face) and ended up with the following:

40% - 44
90% - 6 (all 1964 Kennedys)
1974D double die - 3
Impaired (circulated) proofs - 4

As long as I can find some I will continue searching. HH all

Congrats on the finds! It amazes me what everybody else is finding and what i am NOT finding, haha.

I got 500 in halves today and was skunked on silver. But, I did get about 20 74D's that I will search through later for errors.

I did get ONE 1964 roosevelt in $250 worth of dimes, haha, soooooo sad!

That's a great turnout, especially the 90%-ers. I've only found three in about a year of half searching.

Today's $100 batch was a little less fruitful (1966 & 1969D) but as long as I keep hitting silver I'll stick with it!

Hey bscofield6, do you also "listen" for silver coins when you open a roll? I love their distinctive sound!

Great Job!! Two boxes?? Where did you get two boxes?? Everytime I go to the bank, they are limited on the number of halves they have. HH!!!

Nice work man - im jealous on the halves! I've ordered a few boxes from the fed through my bank - they all come back obviously searched. the wrappers are torn off and replaced with tape. *big thumbs down*.

Joe88 - I have an account at a major bank (Bank One, recently bought out by Chase). I go to the same branch every time, and they order them all the time for me. They get them from the main bank here, who in turn gets them either from the federal reserve or the company that rolls them. The boxes I get are sealed, so I know they are not ones that have been gone thru. Time to time tho I will see a coin that I have seen before (some sort of unique identifying mark), so I do know that I go through coins I have searched before, but I dont worry about that as I go thru even more that I have not gone thru. To make sure I do not go thru the 1974D's again, I keep them, and will turn them in either when I quit searching rolls or if I ever go to one of the coasts (that way they will be out of circulation in my area).

Honestly! When I go to a bank (every bank) and ask them if they have any half dollars or eisenhouer dollars, they look at me like that's the stupidest question in the world! They're like "well, I have those new golden dollars, and susan b anthony dollars"....*blink*

Really though, great finds!!
