<p>[QUOTE="mrak, post: 608891, member: 17511"]I've recently begun searching through boxes of halves. Anything pre-1971 I automatically keep, and then for anything post I've been setting aside the best examples I come across. Originally this was to complete a set, but as many of you have probably encountered there are many superb specimans to be found out there. These may grade as MS65 or higher but are generally considered common enough (ex, 1971) to be worth not much more than face value. I was wondering how many of you set aside these kind of "specimen coins" and what dollar amount you may limit youselves to? I probably have about $225 in these kind of halves. Curious how this compares to other ppl. I'm planning to keep these for the kids. Think it will be neat in 50yrs time to see a decent collection of quality coins (even if they are common dates).</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
