    Those Dang 71s and 74s always tricky looking like 40%

      Way too often. I weigh all of those too just to make sure they aren't silver planchet.

    GA SILVER HUNTER: I’m picking up 5 sealed boxes from my local chase bank tomorrow that they ordered for me last week. I usually order 1 or 2 at a time but my last 8-10 boxes I have had no silver at all so I’m hoping my luck takes a turn!!
    There is a known error, 1971 d that has a “wrong stock” planchette error. The coin was struck from a sheet of metal that was intended to be struck to make quarters. That particular error coin weighs 8.8 grams and it supposedly is quite valuable.
    Love all your coin roll hunting videos and that document is priceless! 👊🏼 👏🏼

      I thought that’s what this might be but it’s a bit heavy for that.

    Was doing some clean up today going through some old boxes. Found probably $38 in change that doesn't include the 23 wheat/copper pennies and the best find of the night was a toned Merc! My first every! Can't make out the date as of yet, need some magnification.

      It's always nice to when stuff like this happens. I had a friend who found something silver and knew I was into it and he gave me a Booker T Washington Commemorative Half that he had floating around because he was never going to "do anything with it."

    What kind of overhead light do you use?

      @GASilverHunter  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have 24" under counter lights that I picked up at home depot or office depot. I built a wooden frame that 30" wide and 18-24" tall. I have a undercounter light on the front and back part of frame. I also have a photographers light off to the side to help with shadows.

    That 72 is interesting. Just last week I found a similar one weight of 10.54 grams, sounded almost like plastic....I am kicking myself for not keeping it now.....1993D....I really hope you find out what it is and share with us. I mentioned last week that I pick up 8 boxes of halves every Wednesday and 2 boxes of quarters. Three weeks ago I actually found 117 NIFCS between 3 boxes, all 2010, both P and D, and all mint state. I tubed them all for my collection. Also with those were 15 proofs all dated 1971 and I got 14 silvers that week! Many weeks I get very little so it just proves that you never stop hunting! Thanks for the great videos!

    • @GASilverHunter
      @GASilverHunter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You probably had a magic coin if it felt like plastic or “fake”. Nice job on the NIFC dump.

      Not sure exactly what a magic coin is or it's purpose....unless you're saying it was actually used in magic shows which I m guessing

    • @GASilverHunter
      @GASilverHunter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I usually show it off when I find one. A magic coin is actually two hollowed out halves of a half dollar that fit perfectly together. It's called Scotch and Soda as a magic trick if you want to look it up. Retail they cost $30-$50.

    I have found a number of those lightweight 1972-P half dollars-all in the same weight range. They are not struck on quarter stock. They would weight quite a bit less. Struck on thin stock but not quarter srock. Not worth much of a premium, if any.

    This hobby is addicting and great to be a part of. After 30+ years of collecting I said I'd never do Kennedy half dollars. Low and behold I have started an album. I already have the 64 - 2000 P&D and most of the NIFCs. I'm being picky about those NIGCs. Great video as always. It's fun to hang out with you. When you find silver, I feel as though we all found silver

      Volume matters. Never buy just 1 lottery ticket if the odds are 1:3.4... buy 4. Same logic.

    1972s frequently come light, it is NOT a magic coin. It’s a light planchet/quarter stock, I’ve found many many 1972s with this

    • @GASilverHunter
      @GASilverHunter  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Definitely not a magic coin. I showed the difference in sound. Probably should have shown the magic coin broken apart for those that don't know what it is. This light planchet does seem to be pretty common though. I have looked a bit more since making the video. Still not sure if there is any value there... doubt it.
