Update Again ! Silver Halves Cust. Wrapped Exhausted Here

Keep any 1964-1969, and also anything post 2000 in good condition, nothing from 2000 forward was released for circulation. Also any S mint is worth keeping in good condition.

If customer-wrapped, every $100 in halves yields at least one 40% silver (65-69). 90% silver is harder to find and probably not in $100- need to do several hundred to get a 90%. Chances of Franklin or Walker are very low but if you do enough, you'll eventually find them. I've gotten a few over the years.

I'm about to do my first bank-wrapped rolls (coming next week and I can hardly wait).

Also keep 87 P, 87D, 70D (rare, because only in mint sets). Also keep 2001P (not released for circulation), but toss 2001D back into circulation. See the JFK analysis thread (https://goccf.com/t/22710) for other possible dates to think about keeping, especially if in higher grade.

Mycrob.........
Forgive me for not noticing your other thread on JFK Halves....... MY GAWD ! That's some extensive work and reporting ! Now I feel slightly "under efforted" (if that's a word !)
But I got some more info just browsing that thread.............can't wait to go searching for sure !
Can I borrow money from anybody here so that I can search some more "halves" ? Hmmmmm ?

When roll searching you must remember location, location, location. If your in a larg city area almost all coins have been gone through numerous times. I buy several rolls of halves each week and haven't found anything worth keeping for many, many years. I've asked at my one bank where they know me and they were telling me that most of their change goes to the Federal Reserve and then redistributed around the city. This means the chances of me finding the same coins over and over are pretty good in this area.

May last time getting 6 rolls of half dollar in Nov 07 I found 1-20ct of 1967 & 1971 10-P 10-D and the other 4 were a mix of dates that were in very worn condition from 1971-1976 they were Mississippi slot mach rejects !

I pick up a roll of halves once a month or so. Got lucky yesterday - found a 1967 and also upgrade a couple of coins in my "circulated" Kennedy collection.

There's actually been some misinformation in this thread.

1964 and 1964D - 90% silver (JACKPOT)
1970-D - Never released to public - only in mint sets
1987 and 1987-D - Never Released to public - only in mint sets
2002 and on - Never Released to public - only in mint sets.

Trivia - The 2006-D is the lowest minted Kennedy EVER! There are FEWER 2006-D Kennedy's than even the famous 1970-D. Get them while you can!!

Honestly don't bother saying the bicentennials unless they are really pristine. It's one of those coins everyone saved because they "were gonna be worth something" someday.

I've only searched through "half" of the $100.00 and no silver so far or key dates. BUT I HAVE $10.00 WORTH OF BICENTENNIAL 1976 HALVES ! I know they're not rare or worth much unless uncirculated, but should I bother saving these ? Does anyone else save the bicentennials ?

AHHHH, now that is a sore subject. Way, way back when those stupid things came out a freind and myself went nuts hoarding the Bicenntenial Quarters and Halves. My friend ended up with virtually thousands of dollars worth of the quarters. I had several hundred dollars worth of them. Not quite so many halves. Almost all in Uncirc condition. Then after well over 30 years we both attempted to sell them and sell them anywhere. At several coin shows we both were both sort of laughed at. One dealer said he'd pay $0.24 each for the quarters. Most just said NO THANKS. We both ended up taking to a bank and depositing them. Could have made more investing in Buggy Whips.
