Half-Hound Surpasses 2010 Goal of 250 Silver Halves
And Completes a 1964-1985 Kennedy Half Collection

December 27, 2010
Los Angeles, California

I’ve been off work this week between Christmas and New Year’s. And I’ve had more time to search for silver coins. I did a box of halves last evening and found four 90% silver coins: two 1964 P Kennedy Halves, a 1945 P Walking Liberty Half and a 1954 P Ben Franklin Half. The very last roll contained the Franklin half. These four coins helped me surpass my ambitious goal of finding 250 silver halves for this year. Probably about one third of these coins are the 90% silver variety, the rest of course are the 40% silver coins.

Rileyboy: I also finally found an acceptable 1982 P half that completes my 1964-1985 Whitman Kennedy Half Coin Folder. And I DID IT MY WAY! Thanks again for your offer, friend.

Incidentally, someone asked where these coin folders can be found. The coin folders can generally be found at bookstores like Borders or Barnes and Noble.

The paperweight is a Christmas gift from my seven year-old grandson. It has coins inside.

Half-Hound (253 Silver Halves, 1 Silver Quarter and 29 Silver Dimes)

wow! awesome totals for the year! cool paper weight too! i hope you find many many more 100's of silver coins in your searches! keep it up and hh!
 
Half-Hound,
Great score for the year and glad you finally got your 1982-P to complete your book. Now what you should do is look at each coin in the book and make a list of the ones that should be replaced with
one of better grade. When you find one replace it and that upgrades your Kennedy collection. I have done that with my many books of Kennedy's and now have sets of very high grade coins. Most in MS grade. Fun to do also. Hope you have a great 2011 out there on the west coast.
all the best,
rileyboy
