Now What? (Kennedy Half Dollar)

I am focusing on Kennedy Half Dollars. It started with coins handed down from my father-in-law. Most of them went into Volume One, 1964-1985 (still nine empty slots). The rest went into Volume Two, 1986-2003 (mostly still empty). And, none into Volume Three (2004-Present).
I went to my bank and phoned four other banks looking for rolls of half dollars. My bank had one roll. I could order a box of half dollar rolls from the bank for $500.00 (total face value of the coins). Then I read in the Guide Book Of US Coins (2019), in 2002 the Mint stopped putting the coins in general circulation through banks. They only sell rolls and bags directly to the public (for a premium).
Unless I get that box of coins from the bank I will have to purchase coins from the internet or coin shows. Certainly, post 2001 half dollars will have to be purchased for a premium. The Mint is selling 2017-P,D and 2018-P,D half dollars, so I bought one roll of each. Now what do I do with them? I can place one of each into Volume Three, but now, what do I do with the rest of those 2017 & 2018 coins?

Put them into circulation. Roll them up and take them to the bank.

 

Or keep them in your collection of superfluous stuff........I've got lots of that stuff.

 

So, what about examining each coin carefully for minimum scratchs, defects, etc. could there beca gem?

 

Absolument monsieur...........

 

Pick out the best ones, and spend the rest.

 

A lot of these mint roll coins are truly pristine.........

 

superflous= junk box?

Why the devil not?

 

They cost $0.82 each. They’re not going into circulation.

 

Parental safety....no one on the internet can find me.....

 

That’s an idea!

 

If you have a club or show near, go to it, and you may sell, trade for what you need. Do not spend them, since they are UNC from the mint. That would be a waste. You will find other in the club that would be willing to buy some to fill slots in their books.
