<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TOLS196024, post: 91626, member: 3884&quot;]Here are the basics on what to look for in boxes of halves:</p><p>Anything 1964 and older is 90% Silver</p><p>1965-1970 is 40% or silver clad (By the way 1970 was issued only in special sets, so they&#039;re not easy to find in circulation)</p><p>1987 Issued only in special sets</p><p>Proofs</p><p>2002-Present also were not issued for general circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>As was mentioned above, there are tons of DDO&#039;s, RPM&#039;s, and other oddities in the Kennedy Series.</p><p>I love roll searching, so I search Pennies, Nickels, and Halves.&nbsp; I don&#039;t usually bother with Dimes or Quarters because, in my experience, there isn&#039;t a heck of a lot out there.&nbsp; Ususally you&#039;ll get a handfull of Wheats from a box of pennies, 30-40 Pre 1960 in a box of nickels, and 10-20 40% Halves per box.&nbsp; These are just averages though!&nbsp; Some boxes will be much better and others will have nothing.&nbsp; You can also find some very uncommon coins while roll searching.&nbsp; Here are a few of my unusual finds:</p><p>Halves</p><p>1974-D DDO Kennedy</p><p>Several Walkers in the Teens</p><p>1907-O Barber Half</p><p>1893 Columbian Expo Half</p><p>Nickels</p><p>1896 Liberty Heaad (Just found it this week but it won&#039;t go any higher than G4)</p><p>1913-S Buffalo</p><p>1935 Buffalo (2)</p><p>1937 Buffalo</p><p>1938-D Buffalo</p><p>Pennies</p><p>1900 Indian</p><p>1906 Indian</p><p>1943 Steel</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to US coins, I have found many coins from foreign countries.&nbsp; While I don&#039;t collect &quot;darkside&quot; material, they&#039;re still neat to find.&nbsp; I hope this was at least a little help.&nbsp; Best of luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
