I know some of you are going to say "check the roll searchers results thread", but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a list of what to search for in half dollar rolls. I just picked up another $120 today (Not much, I know, but it was all they had), and I was wondering what the major/expensive errors or die varieties are. I pretty much only need a list for Kennedy halves post 1970, as I'll keep all other coins anyway, so I can check them later. Thanks a bunch
A list won't do you much good if you don't have accompanying photos to confirm them and check for markers. There are two books you might want to try and get for yourself. The Cherrypickers Guide, 4th Edition, Volume II (Note: There is a 5th Edition, but I don't think Volume II has been released yet.) and the other is Kennedy Halves: An Attribution and Pricing Guide by James Wiles. It's about 8 years old, but you may still find a copy at one of the online stores. Chris
You should buy the 2nd edition of the cherry pickers guide. Factory 2nds go for pretty cheap on ebay.
