Kennedy Half Dollar Unsearched Bank Rolls! 20 COIN ROLL! Look for Silver/Errors
See below for a list of possible errors
These are OBW Rolls = Original Bank Wrapped
Good to collect or give them out for tips to your favorite servers. Perfect for giving to Children / Grandchildren for minor chores while teaching them to save.
Rolls may be a different color than shown in the pics as they came from different banks at different times.
Please remember that these rolls are only wrapped in paper from the bank and can break open in the mail.
we do our best to secure them with bubble wrap.
We have had a lot of luck searching through rolls of these as on average they yield 3-5, 1776-1976 Bicentennial half dollars and even 40% and 90% silver halves at times + many errors, proofs and rares.
Pics are stock pics. I cannot promise you will find silver or errors but you will have fun trying.
