Hello fellow YNs and YNH!

It's great to be posting again. I had a lot of stuff going on this past week, but I am excited to tell you about some recent roll searching finds!

First of all, I hinted at a silver coin in my last update, and since this blog will mainly cover stuff NOT from that hunt, I figured I would juts tell you just so you know. It was in 30 rolls of customer wrapped nickels that I founnd a 1943-P silver nickel! My second silver of the year (my first was a 1964 dime in a coinstar). I also found a buffalo with an actual date (1923). It's really nice to be able to read the date on some older buffalos, esspecially ones found roll searching.�

Now, on to the recent finds! I had a minor coin roll hunt with 16 machine wrapped quarter rolls on Feburay 19th. It looked like it wasn't going to be a great hunt with only a few minor DDRs and some die chips. But low and behold, the second roll to the end held a Marsh-Billings Rocherefeller 2020-W! It has somehing on the obverse that is somewhat diwtracting, but is otherwise in really good condition! All of the W quarters had 2 million coins of each design minted, so technecally none are rarer than others, but I have found this one is a little more commonly found in rolls! It is my second MBR design, and the first W quarter of 2022.�

The next find(s) I think might have been a collection dump. I went to a new bank I had just discovered, and, as a habit, I asked if they had any half dollars. Ussually the answer is simply "No." and I have to get something else. But this time, they said "How many do you want?" So I drove home with $160 in half dollars!

The hunt was actually pretty good! I pulled out two proofs (a 1971-S and a 1999-S), but what I really wanted was silver. Half dollar rolls are kown within the roll searching community as being THE silver source. I had only found one prior, a sharpied 1967 40% silver half dollar. I searched... and searched... and searched. Nothing. The FINAL roll comes. I'm just about ready to give up, as I have NEVER found anything on the last roll. I dump the roll into my hand. One silver edge. TWO SILVER EGDES. THREE SILVER EDGES!? As I look through the roll, I keep finding more. Finally, when I'm done date hunting the half dollars, I have NINE silver half dollars in a neat stack on the table. Eight 40%ers, and one 1964 90% silver Kennedy half dollar. S. C. O. R. E! The dates are as follows:

One 90% 1964 Kennedy Half
Two 40% 1966 Kennedy Halves
Two 40% 1967 Kennedy Halves
Three 40% 1968-D Kennedy Halves
One 1969-D Kennedy Half

What a hunt! I also found a ton of NIFC halves (mainly 2006 P and D). But I also found a 2017-P and a 2015-D.�

Check out the pictures, and hunt on.

Keep hunting,

P.S. My goal for silver this year was two ounces. I'm already at 1.73 ounces!
