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.
Man I never heard of coin hunting from bank rolls! I just watched the penny one now im here. Good stuff bro! Much love and respect for your hobbie. I seriously want to go through my change now haha.
the exact same thing just happened to me, altho I knew coin collecting was a thing, I only collected a bit as a lil kid myself, and have almost zero intrest in the idea now, but this guy makes it seem fun
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 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.
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.
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 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
is there any website you use to determine the value of certain coins? Or do you just sell to the highest bidder for rare coins? Or do you just put them on display? Please answer
@@ThatOneGoatGuy it really just depends on what you have. If you have silver that’s easy to determine. One 90% half has .36 troy oz of silver. So three 90% halves would be a little over an ounce of silver then just look at the market. For other things such as errors it can get a little tricky. I am not an expert on errors because I don’t collect them. However to the right person it just depends on what they are willing to pay.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
for us that don't know it would be great if you elaborate a bit on your finds. like you said "and even a possible '82 P Variety coin (no FG)." what the hell does that even mean and what makes it special? Also maybe give an estimate of each coin and possible total .
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.
Hi Rob is there a hub in are area you know where all the ones you check go to get rewrap because I am finding boxes with coins marked with a marker.I am south of you just wondering
Hey man I gotta a lot of extra time these few days and would like to try this, does it cost money to order one of these boxes? if so whats the price's? how do I get one from my bank?
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.
Do you ever sell coins yourself? What do you do with these collections after going through I assume that turn in new for more save and salvage so can you say your making money.... waiting for silver to raise in value Is all any can do
Your enthusiasm is certainly clear. 😉. Nice finds and good you enjoy the hobby. Do you find that bank branches inside of grocery and other stores are more willing to do coin roll orders than freestanding locations?
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.
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.
It’s not necessarily the value. It is a hobby. If you find a “rare” or silver coin great! That’s the point! If you do not find anything you want to keep or collect not a big deal. Take everything back to the bank. Onto the value part. If you were to find three 90% half dollars for face value it is equal to a little over an ounce of silver. So you paid $1.50 for about $30.
so, I just noticed this video because it came on my recommended list but I've watched a few so far but how much do you make off these coins? I notice you don't state that info?
Three 90% half dollars are about one ounce of silver. Seven 40% half dollars are about one ounce of silver. Coin roll hunting isn’t always about trying to make money. It can be an enjoyable hobby.
Kids walked up to me with a bunch of half dollars and asked if I wanted to trade for dollars because they were told they were fake at the store 😂 I did, I thought they were going to figure out a way to use them I am sure they raised some coin collection. Lock that up from kids Six dollars in Benjamins this was the late eighties tho.... Sold all my scrap and coins at 20$ 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,,,,
My luck with Half Dollars continues! I hope you enjoy the video and Happy Hunting!
After rewatching the video, I think I can see a faint "G" where the "FG" should be... Thoughts?
RobFindsTreasure look out for 1944 copper pennies because in 1944 that's when they subsatuted steel for copper especially in 1944
Sorry I haven't been watching your videos, I was sick:(

got to admit having a hobby where even the duds are worth something is terribly smart and frugal
Covey Hough so it’s basically impossible to lose money with this hobby
I inherited my grandfather's coin collection and it was 20 peanut cans of silver quarters dimes and half dollars. Alot of mercury dimes in it
Man I never heard of coin hunting from bank rolls! I just watched the penny one now im here. Good stuff bro! Much love and respect for your hobbie. I seriously want to go through my change now haha.

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 have a coin hunting room, I barely have a room 😂
A ROOM, I LIVE IN A SHOE BOX....

👏 wow
WOW 1952. I'm trying to build an old roll of them.
Nice hunt. Considering all the skunks that you had.
HI FOLKS... BILLY MAYS HERE...
Man, I wonder where all my coins are at. And that ben Franklyn is awesome! Never seen one or knew they existed. Very cool.
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.

Silver 👍To bad you don't see boxes like that these days. Fun hunt to watch Rob 🤓🙏
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
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.
Great Find with the Benjamin Half. Haven't found one of them yet Half hunting, but I'm hoping!!!!

Some good boxes!! Nicely done
Sweet hunt! Can’t wait to see more videos!
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.
Sweet finds!! Awesome hunt Rob can’t wait for more!!
So what do you do with all these coins once you sort through / hunt through your coins?
Take them back to the bank. Take them to a different bank than where you get the coins. Sometimes they get upset if you deposit them straight 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.
Shirl Bussman it’s a Wells Fargo Bank inside of a grocery store. They have a very small vault so it’s very cool they keep space for me there for sure!
That is awesome that they do that for you. I wish I had a Wells Fargo Acct. Thinking about it..
Love the hunts 😍
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.

How much was it worth?
So do you takes the boxes of halves back to the bank in the opened boxes?
Man congrats on finding the franklin. I just opened a brinks box and only found two nifc's no silver...hope your luck continues good job.
paul joseph Thanks Paul!
What is the best half dollar chart to print out while coin rolling half dollars?
I always check the coinstar machines sometimes ppl leave behind foreigns or oldies
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?
10/10 effort 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
Very entertaining and professional video! Not my thing for sure but cool to see a professional in their trade.
What’s an infc? What’s the total value of your finds? Do you keep them or sell them? Thank you!
NIFC, not intended for circulation, post 2001
Alkali Wreck thank you!
I have so much silver from hunting I need a new safe . Love it .. keep up hunting . Also I only keep 90 percenters
Why’s that? 40% halves are valuable too. Seven 40% halves contain an ounce of silver…
Great hunt. So funny that you didn't get a 1968. Maybe you got them all in your last hunt. LOL. 👽👽
Pams Coins I probably did Pam - LOL
Nice boxes Rob
MrDirty Nickels Thanks Dom!
I struck Pay Dirt one day at a bank not too long ago I got a full roll of 64 90% percenters.
WOW! Very nice!
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
It is really hit or miss, have you found that Harrisburg boxes aren’t as good for other denominations or just halves?
You dont see that FG? It looks pretty clear to me.
yup i saw it too
Yeah, the FG is there, just really worn.
Anybody else listen to this guy and expect him to just go "Alvin!!!!" Out of nowhere?😂
What do you do with the leftover coins? Do you have to reroll them?
I found a 1952 d Franklin a few weeks ago. Only 5.4 million minted and its extra fine!
That was a Pretty Neat Coin Hunt!!!
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!
This dude looks like a bald Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny. Awesome.
for us that don't know it would be great if you elaborate a bit on your finds. like you said "and even a possible '82 P Variety coin (no FG)." what the hell does that even mean and what makes it special?
Also maybe give an estimate of each coin and possible total .
Omg, wow!!!! A Franklin, you have my like, now 2 more to go, walking liberty and barber!!!!!😃

where do you get these boxes? - do you have to order them?

And I watched this to the end....I am starting to worry about myself now...
NF String is the only rolls I find silver in.
Tough to even open Dunbar rolls though. Never any in them.
Loved the video
Eli Potruch Subscribe to my UA-cam channel it is called yuriy Paul it will be the first one coins for 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.
I have a 1952 Benki too! No date as well
Every time I ask for these my bank does not have any. Where is the best place to order from? Please help!
I have some new $2 bills that are consecutive numbered from ending in 67 through 83. Is this significant?
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
Hi Rob is there a hub in are area you know where all the ones you check go to get rewrap because I am finding boxes with coins marked with a marker.I am south of you just wondering

Hey man I gotta a lot of extra time these few days and would like to try this, does it cost money to order one of these boxes? if so whats the price's? how do I get one from my bank?
It costs what the coin is worth. If you order $1000 worth of quarters, it costs $1000
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.
For your pole on the oldest half that I’ve found you forgot to put a seated! And yes I have found a freaking seated BOOM!,
Do you ever sell coins yourself? What do you do with these collections after going through I assume that turn in new for more save and salvage so can you say your making money.... waiting for silver to raise in value Is all any can do
Not as many as last time but still cool finds!!! But the franklen makes up for it lol

Your enthusiasm is certainly clear. 😉. Nice finds and good you enjoy the hobby. Do you find that bank branches inside of grocery and other stores are more willing to do coin roll orders than freestanding locations?
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.
I kinda could see the fg but not for sure it could have been worn down a little bit but not sure
TyTy Lena I agree.
How did you hey a quarter from the coinstar? Did you ask the owner to open it? Thanks.
The coin star has a reject coin tray. The customer is supposed to take the rejects. Coin Star machines typically don’t take silver coins.
i cant wait tell when you star doing live stream rob good boxes you got.
Where do you get these from? I’m from the UK and don’t want to be buying scammed coins that are already searched
I order them from my banks.
Step one of searching US coins: live in the United States
Good stuff Rob.
1000 silver dream is still alive.
wonder if you ever check quarter rolls for Susan B Anthony silver dollars... people used to confuse those coins...
A Susan B would not fit in a quarter roll. If you buy a roll of dollar coins it is pretty common to find Susan Bs in them.
where did you get the word benji from. its a cool word... thats what we use in our videos!
Money Maniacs I’ve just liked saying Benji since it sounds more cool than Ben or Ben Franklin.
Cool finds
Dudes rock..fish..no bait...bwahaha
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.

If you do not find anything you want to keep or collect not a big deal. Take everything back to the bank.
Onto the value part. If you were to find three 90% half dollars for face value it is equal to a little over an ounce of silver. So you paid $1.50 for about $30.

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,,,,
can you in your next video show the spreadsheet you use to document your finds please
Timberd3 Yes - I’ll try to remember!
5:54 why is that one coin more close to your thumb has such a wide rim?
What is the value of the fg under the eagles leg?
Love 4 bits
2:29 what is that noise?
All I heard at the 2:29 mark was Rob dropping a roll of halves back into the box, off camera.
Thinking about pulling the trigger on a nickel box. Not sure yet.
Very interesting
