Is there a high market for proofs and low mintage dates?

    I've recently switched from pure silver to low mintage and proof halves and I was wondering if I would make more from putting it online or going to a Local Coin Store?

    Your questions are vague. Can you be a bit more specific?

    I have 2002 - 2010 half dollars, low mintage dates. I also have a 2010 S (proof) half dollar. Will a local coin shop be interested? or will people on ebay be more interested

    I don't think there is a big market for them, since most of the Kennedy half minted all went to collectors or dealers straight from the mint, so mintage is kind of misleading.

    Maybe some dealers here might have better answer.

    Even though those are dates that were unintended for circulation and were only issued in mint sets, having a single Half Dollar from one of those dates (2002-2010) in a set will not bring a high premium. If you are lucky, you will get double the coin's face value.

    Despite their "low mintage" they are not worth much raw.

    The only way I can see this becoming a payday is if the coins were in high-grade (i.e. top pop or top pop minus one) slabs from PCGS or NGC.
