CastleCoin New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 2:27 pm Hi, All, Yesterday I picked up two rolls of halves at the Credit Union. I noted that one of the rolls had BU coins at both ends. To my surprise, the entire roll consisted of BU 2023-Ds. The second roll featured the usual fare of circulated 70s halves. Nothing unusual there. Since I don't have an interest in saving BU rolls, I will likely cherry pick the best specimen for my collection, and use the remainder to help finance the purchase of a new addition to my Barber dime collection. Cheers... Edited by CastleCoin 08/21/2025 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wish you the best at that - but if you can find them for 50 cents in a bank roll - well, what drives any additional market value for them?

CastleCoin New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 08/22/2025 08:10 am Hi, nickelsearcher, I'm not seeking to make any gains on these halves. They are destined to be spent at FV at the nearby coin shop - a little modern pot metal for some classic silver. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 08/22/2025 08:58 am Not so fast... People who need just one nice example for their set will pay more than face for it. Breaking up a BU roll is like breaking apart a Mint set—the parts are worth more on their own. The trick is finding 20 buyers.

Putting together a BU set usually involves paying a premium over face whether it be from a mint set or a roll. Report this Post to the Staff
