i like proofs too but don't really need them.
guess it depends on what you want for them.

i have depleted most of my 90% stockpile on past trades,
still have some rolls of walkers, franklins, kennedys.
i do also have a dozen rolls of Mercury dimes
and a couple rolls of older quarters.


i have a few graded halves as well and a ton of superb gem proofs from many years.

just so you know.

To be honest I like all junk silver dimes quarter halves War Nickels 40%ers.... whatever... My main thing would be to get them cheaper than buying at the local shops IE I can get a 40% half dollar for 3.00 I would like to be able to trade less than that in face value out for the same thing... maybe something like 3 proofs for a 40%er so I basically am paying 1.50 for the half.... But of course this isn't the exact number just like an example of what I want to accomplish trading out the non silver coins

Picked up 4 boxes after work.

3 40%ers, another electric engraver "Beto", a proof ender, a holed, a red markered up, and a bunch of NIFC.

2nd Why do you guys keep holed painted destroyed etc?


I don't keep the holed, bent, mulched up, or painted. I do keep the counterstamped, engraved, toned, magicians coins, prayer tokens, parking tokens, car wash tokens, stickered, and anything else out of the ordinary because after looking at almost $1 million in halves (million dollars, not million coins) ($9K a week X 52 weeks X 2 1/2 years)) I have seen just about every type of half such as proof, silver, classic silver, commemorative and they all end up looking alike. Every once in a while it is nice to find something different. I have 2 Dansco 8 page albums I keep my rejects in ($320 face)

That makes sense I wasn't trying to be mean or anything just curious if there was some value to them... I totally understand, When I used to search through ridiculous amounts of pennies I started keeping all the ones that were all beat beyond recognition for virtually the same reasons.... I will be keeping the same ones as you do except prob not the stickered ones.... but car wash tokens and all the oddities will definitely have a home here... You should see my nickel and penny collection.... between the two denominations I have searched nearly 500,000 coins and I started late May of this year.... I decided to go to halves along with nickels still to widen my profit margins but once I have built up to where I wanna be I will be doing 4 boxes of Halves 6 days a week and 8 boxes of nickels 7 days a week.... I have my banks built up to the 8 boxes of nickels now but it will take me another month to get the halves built up to that amount... I am VERY serious about CRH, to the point where if I am not doing it I am either sleeping,eating,hygiene,or driving to and from the bank to either drop or pick up.I have no life other than coins passing through my hands. I know all the keepers and what to look for on nickels and pennies but I still need just a few pointers on the halves.... I figure I am in a great city for doing this, I am just a stone throw away from both the federal reserve and the mint so in essence more coin flow than other major cities.... Coins I search and dump(in theory) will end up in other states and that also goes for coins dumped in other states will end up here, and since the banks in my city are nice and close to the reserve they pay a far smaller fee to bring in coin therefore are far less likely to cut me off from large orders of coin. Of course this is all theory and not based on anything other than the experiences I have had.

1 box of halves. 2 holed, a NIFC, a pocket lint ender, and a beat up 1974D DDO.

I did unfortunately score these 3 while dumping. Crisp off the stack as the teller had to shuffle the crisp bils in between old bills so that they wouldn't stick together and I didn't catch that they were star notes until she was counting the money out in front of me.

Did $100 in Kennedy's and found this poor guy in a roll:

Sorry for my ignorance, but do you think it's type 1 or 2?

4 more boxes - only desk lamp pics - but better than nothing.

A very worn 76, two 87Ds - one in GREAT shape, a Medio Balboa, and a 77s - but the best was a heavily clashed 1983.

Any ideas on the value of a clash like this? Very easy to see in hand without magnification. This is the 2nd good 1983 I have found in the last year.

Oh, just a note about the last two boxes I did.

No silver.
A Few NIFCs of which I put some back into circulation.
Two 1980 gold plated halves which I also put back into circulation.

Sadly, unemployment for me has lingered too long and the account is now lower
than it has been in almost two years. Until something changes, I will not
likely be doing too many boxes of halves. I will still be here though.

Happy Hunting everyone. Enjoy it as long as you can.

It looks like it may be the T2, but I am not sure. The 1981 T1 mint mark is the same as the 1979 T2 (and used in 1980). The T2 S-mint mark is the same one used in 1982.

Page 234 of the 2013 Red Book has good images for comparison.
