Been meaning to post this, but been busy as all get out.
Last week on my bank runs, I asked if they had any halves, was told only two rolls that customer brought in. I said I'd take them, and immediately noticed that they were not in the normal rolls.
Got to my car and checked out the ends, all ends bicentennial. I then noticed that the paper looked fairly old.
Got home, showed the wife, both concluded that both rolls were all bicentennial, and for grins, opened one. Sure enough, all bicentennial halves, and I'm guessing neither roll had ever been opened. set the other roll off to the side and proceeded to check the other rolls I'd gotten from different location.
In haste later that day, grabbed all halves, including the un-circulated ones and swept into our "dump" coffee can.
So I ask you, oh wise and knowledgeable of the CCF.... two questions, should I let my wife kick me for releasing the 20 halves back to the wild, and is there any real value in the second un opened roll beyond face?
Thanks! Holdem

Depends on who you talk to. There were super high mintages for both years they were made, 75 and 76. So they are relatively common in and of themselves. 287,565,000 for Denver and 234,308,000 for Philly. As for BU coins, yes, they have a higher than face value. In MS60 they list at 4 bucks for both P&D per Coin Worlds values. So unfortunately I would say bend over and brace yourself. Hopefully your wife has a small foot.
