I'm relatively new to coin roll hunting. I know there are NIFC Kennedy half dollars (2002 - 2020) and low mintage Jefferson nickels (2009, 2024). A lot of folks recommend keeping any of these you find. But what is the value of keeping these, especially duplicates? Can they readily be sold when they are in circulated condition? Or do they need to be MS-65 or better? I'm just trying to get a handle on whether people keep them just because they are low mintage or because they can readily sold for a premium over face value.

When it comes to circulated or low MS condition coins they really are just face value. You would need to have them graded and hope for at least 66/67 to make a profit depending on the year of mintage.

Keep what makes you happy but don't expect to get rich off CRH finds that are NIFC or low mintage.

For a long time, I was selling beat up 2009-P nickels for $4 with free shipping. My net profits were probably $100.

Stash those mint state 2024s! They will be worth several dollars in a few years.

As for the NIFC Kennedy half dollars, what is your holding cost? For 50¢, you can afford to hold on to them. Consider the possibility that some kid in the future is going to start an album, and you can help with some harder to find coins, even if they aren't mint state.

Good replies, I can agree with what has been said so far.

Let's correct a misconception about low mintage Jefferson nickels. The 2009 and 2024 issues are not low mintage - they are simply lower mintage for the modern coins.

I do save them though, even if lightly circulated.

There are 9 Jefferson nickel date/mm that are truly low mintage - with annual mintage below 10 million each.

As a CRH person you should get to know those 9 coins and save any you come across.
