Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

I stopped a local Wells Fargo to ask if they had any halves. One teller had a few and said he would look around. The teller next to him looked up and said "I have $180". She then produced a bag of rolled and loose halves. It took me forever to convince her to sell me all she had. Her reluctance was related to the fact that $50 of the collection wasn't rolled. I could see the silver as she stacked the coins and counted them. Every once in a while she would look at a coin and then put it down. The anticipation was a killer!

Ultimately I got $90 in 40 percent Kennedy's. This pushed my total clad silvers past the $500 face mark (a goal for me). I am still about $50 short from $500 face of 90 percent halves. It has taken me almost two years to assemble this collection. Interestingly, all the coins were found from customer wrapped rolls.

Now on to my next $500! :o

CRH - customer roll hunter?

question for you out of you $500 how many are 1970's
 

Re: Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

I have yet to find a 1970, or any of the special silver issues after 1970. I had very high hopes yesterday. From what I read, the odds are better from box hunting.

WOW, it would been hard to contain myself, after seeing her stack the silver!!!

I have never found a 1970 either....... lots of 69's and 71's though

Congrats :thumbsup:
 

Re: Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

That's awesome, wonder if the 90's will start to slow down in comparison? I've found almost three boxes of 40's, but have still not completed my 90's box.

Super score on those 180 40% and congrats on some awesome totals for your stash , that is becoming a very nice collection, Ed
 

Re: Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

i have only found 1 1970.
 

Re: Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

From what I have read, those appear more in the brinks boxes. I would be curious to see what other people's experiences are.
 

Re: Milestone reached $500 in 40 percent Kennedy's

CF,

All my 70's have been found in boxes none in customer rolls. By the way did you keep track off how much you had to go through to find that 500 face value?

My first '70 was in a coin counter bag, the other 9 came from boxes. HH Mark
