Hunting $1,000 in Half Dollars - Solid Silver Boxes with a Benji!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hunting $1,000 in half dollars!
My grocery store bank ordered me another 2 boxes of half dollars for this week and let me tell you... I was very skeptical at first since they were my least favorite boxes to hunt - the yellow rolls from Harrisburg, PA... BUT - they didn't disappoint me one bit! I managed to score silver, (including a my second ever Benji), as well as... well, just watch the video to see what I found!
In this video, I will share all of my finds with you including all of the Silvers, the NIFC's, and even a possible '82 P Variety coin (no FG).
I decided to not set up the camera and record each and every roll this hunt to save time on editing so I could get this video out to you all in under 15 minutes... I hope you don't mind and still share in my excitement as we found more SILVER!

Do you only search for silver or do you also check for proofs, errors and low mintage years?
How many silver half dollars do you average in a box? Do you mostly see 40% silver or 90% silver? What's your BEST find in a box of halves?

Seeing you and another roll hunter going after this inspired me to start checking my local banks (don't drive, so a little limited, but I think I could hit about half a dozen with a bus in and bike ride back), and when I checked the two nearest to me, since I didn't quite have the cash on-hand for a box, I just asked for loose. Glad I did, 'cause the only one I was able to get was a '67, which I'd just bought sight-unseen, so as not to be 'that douche that cherrypicks'. With luck, I should be able to start actually hunting boxes shortly.

My dad passed away a few years ago and this video just brought up a deep forgotten memory of him. He used to have a 1952 franklin half dollar coin with a hole drilled in it on his key chain.
I just finished going thru a $1,000 in Kennedys and all I came away with was 4 coins (2 1966 and 2 1967) - not even one 90%er.... That won't even cover the cost of gas I burned to go to the bank to get them and then back to return unless the price of an ounce of silver doubles while i sleep tonight.

So you just went to town to get those boxes? I usually have some other stuff to take care too, so who cares how much the fuel cost is
You just never know, great hunt and finds Rob! Glad your finding the silver... May has been brutally slow for me, hoping it picks up next week.
Them boxes are tough ! Keep at it up I got 148 silvers in my first box and 69 silvers in the second this week . Oh and 2 magic coins. EPIC
A few weeks ago bad weather and bad health prevented me from metal detecting so the wife suggested I buy some halves. Bank had 2 boxes so I took one. Wife decided to help and she immediately got a ‘64 Kennedy. Then she scored a ‘53 Franklin. Then I got a ‘64. And a ‘42 Walker comes my way! Plus we found 13 40% coins, 3 proofs and 24 uncirculated halves. Wife insisted I go buy the second box. Second box gave us a ‘40 and a ‘46 Walkers. The ‘46 appears uncirculated. Absolutely beautiful. We also found 11 40% coins, 1 proof, 14 uncirculated and 4 error coins including 2 no FGs. Absolutely the 2 most magnificent boxes I’ve ever searched. And the bank promised me another box today.

I have the Harrisburg rolls in my area. I have searched through a few boxes and I found a Ben Franklin, 2 1964's and I even found a 1908 O Barber half a couple of weeks ago. I mostly find 40%ers but I'll take whatever I can find. Haha

I remember going to a bank in Pana, IL and bought $450 in halves from their coin counting machine. I had 16 Franklin halves, 1 walker, 16 1964's, 1 1965, and more than 30 1966-1969 halves. That was back in 1994, though.

Rob when I went to the bank to get a box of dimes I asked for any halfs or dollar coins and the bank teller gave me 5 40%s, 3 90%s and one 2006 s proof 90% silver. I was sooo happy!!!!
Man, I wonder where all my coins are at. And that ben Franklyn is awesome! Never seen one or knew they existed. Very cool.
Sweet hunt! Can’t wait to see more videos!
Just realized you are out of frisco! Love seeing another local coin hunter, Fort Worth here! Happy hunting man and see you soon
Nearly impossible to get halves here in western NY, but when I plead with my bank to order some, I'll luck out on a lot of NIFCs and proofs. Rarely find silver. Good boxes, Rob!

Some good boxes!! Nicely done
Great Find with the Benjamin Half. Haven't found one of them yet Half hunting, but I'm hoping!!!! Got the NIFC with my RC initials on it yesterday-thank you. It absolutely figures it got here ONE day after I did my first mail call video with my Lemons for Leukemia challenge! LOL. It will be in my next mail call vid. Finally, finally got (part 1) of the 1922 2 acre farmhouse open permission done. Got the first 6 hunts of about 14 I've done there. I cut out almost ALL the clad finds and ALL the trash finds (which were several hundred) just to get it down to the dozen or so good finds, and it's still 25 minutes. I hope folks find it as epic as your 30 silver half box you recently did! Thanks again for the special Half! Rob 2
So what do you do with all these coins once you sort through / hunt through your coins?
Found a walker a few weeks back in a tellers change tray. As I looked at her change it was looking right back at me. Told her I wanted to buy her halves & she gladly did so at 50 cents each. Not my first walker, but the first time I’ve ever seen one in a change tray. 1918 P, is G4 condition.
I received a Ben Franklin from my convenience/liquor store in the form of change a few years back.
I always enjoy watching you get any silver. That was pretty good. Grocery store orders boxes for you? That is amazing they would do that for you.

I used to coin roll hunt all the time. Used to love it until everyone found out what silver was. 😭 I found a complete roll of 64 Kennedy half dollars once and used to find tons of silver. It just seemed around a few years ago when silver peaked I couldn't even find rolls anymore at the banks. Coolest coin I ever found was a Lincoln cent with a Masonic simbol like welded on it. Happy hunting.

My building’s laundry is still coin op. I check every roll of quarters for rare ones or silver. A few years back I opened a roll and they were all silver quarters. I look through the Canadian dollar rolls too but mostly to find if someone stuck in an arcade token.

WOW 1952. I'm trying to build an old roll of them. Nice hunt. Considering all the skunks that you had.
That's so sick, I know this video is over a year old but I wish I had half this luck. I'll get skunked on 5-6 boxes in a row, even worse when I find ones that aren't even half dollars. And you just hit a Franklin... crazy.
I received change today when I paid for my purchase at the store. Epic.

Ok two questions..... After you find those coins what do you do with them? Sell them? And if so how much and to who? And what do you do with the rest of the coins that are normal coins and not silver?
NF String is the only rolls I find silver in. Tough to even open Dunbar rolls though. Never any in them.
wonder if you ever check quarter rolls for Susan B Anthony silver dollars... people used to confuse those coins...
I just found out that one of my family members that lives near me had found two 17 hundreds silver dollars that he found when he moved in are they worth anything?

So do you takes the boxes of halves back to the bank in the opened boxes?
What do you do with the leftover coins? Do you have to reroll them?
This dude looks like a bald Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny. Awesome.
so, I just noticed this video because it came on my recommended list but I've watched a few so far but how much do you make off these coins? I notice you don't state that info?

Rob Bernath This one certainly was. It seems that most free standing branches likely have many customer orders already and are less receptive. I have think most branches inside grocers don’t and seem to not mind for sure.
Whats the point of keeping the NIFCs? any added value?
What is the best half dollar chart to print out while coin rolling half dollars?
First time watching the channel and wow, you look a lot like Jon Travolta, From Paris with love movie lol
Love 4 bits
I picked up 4 rolls of Kennedys at my credit union. One whole roll was 40%. I've asked a few times and they say they don't have any more half dollars.
And I watched this to the end....I am starting to worry about myself now...

In my experience banks will just give these to you at face value if they have them, and if you have an account with them, will usually order them if you ask. Half dollars typically come in boxes of 1000 (50 rolls of 20 coins each) and thus will cost $500 a box.
So I'm only asking cause I don't know, but what is the justification as only a few coins of each pressing are rare? How much value are you getting out of the time spent? Just curious.
Found a franklin 2 days ago on a whim bought 7 dollars worth from a bank and she pulled them out I seen the white and got super excited
Where do I get coins from it I want to search for them like you? Thanks you!
I bought $500/wk in half dollars for about 3 months at lunch form work. That was about 9,000 coins. Never found anything silver or older than a Kennedy.
Kids walked up to me with a bunch of half dollars and asked if I wanted to trade for dollars because they were told they were fake at the store 😂 I did, I thought they were going to figure out a way to use them I am sure they raised some coin collection. Lock that up from kids Six dollars in Benjamins this was the late eighties tho.... Sold all my scrap and coins at 20$ spot, did good. Started over with scrap Sterling, I almost never see silver anymore...I moved overseas and will soon start metal detecting as my detector gets here,,,,
where do you get the boxes? is there a special bank or do most banks have them?

You can request them at any bank, they put in orders for boxes of coins every week and they can get you whatever you want. You might need to have an account there.
It is really hit or miss, have you found that Harrisburg boxes aren’t as good for other denominations or just halves?
wow much be doing good with the u tube stuff your home is wow wow wow

Yes yes to quite a few collectors it is. I would hold on to them. That's pretty cool that means they came fresh from the Federal Reserve
My theory is, you will find the most epic coin of all from the least expected place, so when you get a box from the the bank you don't want, there is still hope!
also some 1920's liberty heads
Awesome finds! Looks like you may have something with that 1982-P

I work on currency counters and the banks don't like the silver coins. They want to get rid of them. With a right settings you can set up a magner 305 coin counter to reject silver.
