Hi everyone, I know this topic goes back quite a while, but I wanted to share what I have and wake up this fascinating topic thread. Perhaps, when I am able to trade, (not quite sure when that will be?) but we might work on creating sets. My Kennedy halves come all the way from Canada. Not searched in rolls, but inherited from my mom's coin hoard in 2021. Here's my list. For now, I've just managed to organize them chronologically in a 2X2 binder. I know that's not how to build a complete set, but for now, that's all I've managed to do. Will love to know more about building sets of my own. Any comments from the pros are always welcomed! 1965 1966 1967 1969 D 1971 D x 14 1971 x 18 1972 x 242 1972D x 7 1973 x 53 1973 D x 4 1974P x 20 1974D x 3 1974D 1974D 1776-1976 x 27 1776-1976D x 5 1977 x 19 1979D x 2 1980P x 4 1980D x 2 1981P x 2 1983D 1983P x 3 1984P 1985P 1986P x 2 1986D x 2 1989P 1992D 1992P 1993P x 2 1994D x 3 1995P x 2 1996P 1996D x 2 1997P 1998P 2000D

You're well on your way to a nice set. I take the best coins by year and Mint, keep them either in 2x2's or capsules and then I use the Lighthouse Encap Sleeves (for capsules) and put them in a labeled regular binder.
The others you could certainly keep for now and sell when you get the chance.
You're doing great Jessie!

Always a pleasure to hear from you Debbie! Thanks so much for your wisdom and advice! I really appreciate it! By the way, I still don't have access to email here. I guess it'll come in time.

@Jess1234, try looking in your user profile, you might have to change something in there, like turning on the feature that allows others to see your email and send you emails.

Quote: I got them and found out that they are original mint rolls/uncirculated 2001 D&P. Outstanding!  Quote: Here's my list. For now, I've just managed to organize them chronologically in a 2X2 binder. I know that's not how to build a complete set, but for now, that's all I've managed to do. Very nice!  The great thing about 2x2 albums is you can easily rearrange them in the future.

Nice Score Echo, Its nice to get those UNC rolls. Jess1234, When you are ready to trade, let me know, I have over 5700 NIFC half dollars along with over 600 proofs as well. I think I can help you complete a nice set.

The amount of 1971 and 1976 halves is typical, but I'm surprised nearly 25% of the coins were 1972s.

So sorry for my mistake on the 1968D, I forgot to think about the fact that in 1968 Quarters were Clad/copper coins. We call that in Law enforcement, Excited Utterance, in this case writing before thinking. My Bad! I do not believe the weight loss of this 1968 is due to wear, there is too much detail on this coin. I have low ball half dollars where the Obverse and Reverse are barely visible and the weight of those coins are still heavier than this coin. Maybe its just stock that was rolled extra thin. I don't know that is why I come to places like this, to help get answers.

I've had a few slow weeks, yielded 1 40% and 2 clad proofs one of the weeks, another week 1 - 40%, and these 4 - 40% silvers another week. A couple skunk weeks in the mix. 34 boxes over 4 weeks and only 6-40% in total. Not complaining too loud, could have been zero.
