1 1990p first I can recall coming across so it goes into the collection
3 with holes punched into them with varying success. Never knew half dollar necklaces were all the rage.
Another one of those with one side that looked like it was painted red. Whats up with that?

Still haven't come across a 1993p

Oh yeah second box... in terms of silver first SKUNK! Yah that didn't take long

Why is a 1993p worth something?
I have a RedBook and it doesn't say ANYTHING about those.

I go through $1,000 (2 boxes) of 50 pieces of week. The ONLY thing I have ever learned was 1974 double stamp, and then silvers. Are there any I am missing or worth keeping?

(Oh, and 2002 and newer, I have 3 of those)

Ahh, I would get it if it were a hole filler.

But can anyone fill me in on what is worth looking for/valuable/rare for 50 cent pieces besides pre-1965 & post-2001

Well the only reason its got my attention is because its the only non NIFC which I haven't found yet after getting a 90p in fair condition.

I may be off on this, but my 2012 RedBook doesn't say anything about 90p or 93p being uncirculated?

Searched 2 of my 8 boxes for the week. Found 2 40%'s... Silver is really drying up in my area.

I never said anything about it being an NIFC. Its just that after 2000-3000 coins and oceans of 71s and bicentennials I haven't run across a 93p and only one 90p for some reason. I'm also missing 87d, 70d-p and some of the post 2001s but those are more formally considered rare.

Just did 1k in halves. I was fully expecting to get skunked but I was delightfully surprised to find:

1950 Franklin
1964 Kennedy
1964 Kennedy
1976 S Kennedy 40% (This is my 2nd ever)

How common is it to find 1976S 40% Bicentennials?

1918 British Penny

And 3 real nice Gems for hole fillers/upgrades:
2010 Kennedy
2004 Kennedy
2000 Kennedy

I know I have found a couple 1976s. I have 1-40% and 1-clad.

I did find a couple 200x clad proofs last week. They were in crummy condition so I threw them back for someone else to find.

This here now has me wondering about 3 of my finds, all are 1976. I thought the S mintmark meant that they were 40% Silver in 1976. I have pictured them below with weights.

From left to Right:
1976 S, This is is PROOF like, but heavily scratched etc.

1976 S, This is looks more like a regular 40%, no mirror fields etc.

1976 , This is is very odd, it has a frosty white rim, no copper strand at all. The rims looks like a 90% rim. I dont know what to make of this one.

1976 D, This is a standard clad bicentennial half AU, just for comparison.

all of these are from roll finds and I'm guessing the first 2 are in fact 40%, the third one I dont know and the 4th we all know what that is.

If this post is in the wrong spot I apologize and feel free to move me :)
