■ JACKPOT: Imagine finding the 1970-D Silver JFK shown below worth the highest collector value on record in one of these unsearched Bank Rolls. At left, workers scramble to keep up with orders. There are never any guarantees, but California residents who get their hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls will be the really lucky ones because many Silver JFK’s have nearly doubled in collector value in the last several years. Coin values always fluctuate but there can never be any more of these Silver JFKs minted between 1965 and 1970 and there’s no telling what they will someday be worth.
California residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver JFK’s dating back to the mid 1900’s some worth up to 60 times their face value for just the $19 minimum set for state residents - all other state residents must pay $57 per coin if any remain after 2-day deadline STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 6 State Restricted Bank Rolls per CA resident has been imposed
CALIFORNIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Treasurer for the National Mint and Treasury.
For the next 2 days the last remaining State of California Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver JFK’s are actually being handed over to California residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.
“I recently spoke with a retired Treasurer of the United States of America who said, ‘In all my years as Treasurer I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver JFK’s issued by the U.S. Gov’t over 50 years ago. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.
“Now that the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of California residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 6 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne.
“That’s because the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver clad JFK Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of California Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that these coins date back to the mid 1900’s and some are worth up to 60 times their face value, so there is no telling what California residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say.
And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of California you cover only the $19 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s twenty rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver clad JFK half dollars worth up to 60 times their face value for just $380 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $57 per coin which totals $1,140 if any coins re-
main after the 2-day deadline.
The only thing California residents need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends.
“Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver JFK Half Dollars have nearly doubled in collector value in just the last several years,” Lynne said.
“So just imagine how much these last remaining, unsearched State of California Restricted Bank Rolls could be worth someday. Remember, these are not ordinary coins – these rarely seen coins are at least 50 years old. In fact, these coins have been forever retired by the U.S. Gov’t, and you can’t get them rolled this way anywhere because these way anywhere because these are the only State Restricted are the only State Restricted Bank Rolls known to exist,” Bank Rolls known to exist,” said Lynne.
“We’re guess“We’re guessing thousands ing thousands of California of California residents will residents will be taking the be taking the maximum limit maximum limit of 6 Bank Rolls of 6 Bank Rolls because they because they make such make such amazing gifts amazing gifts for any occasion for any occasion for children, for children, parents, grandparents, grandparents, friends parents, friends and loved ones,” and loved ones,” Lynne continLynne continued.
“We know the “We know the phones will be phones will be ringing off the ringing off the hook. That’s why hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to anWe’ll do our best to answer them all,” Lynne swer them all,” Lynne said.
“That’s why the National Mint and Treasury set up the National Toll-Free Hotlines in order to make sure California residents get the State Restricted Bank Rolls before they’re all gone,” she said.
