Message:: [QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 703447, member: 19456"]I just found this thread. I am working on a set of them but it's slow going. They just simply do not circulate and as such, I can't get them in change. My main bank refuses to stock them, although they always have a few in the drawers, they don't carry rolls. Luckily, the bank I use for Paypal (a national chain) DOES stock them and I was able to procure my first roll recently. Most of them were beat up very badly, I think they were used in casinos, there are a few in close range. Many, many scratches and dings, it looks like a weedwacker attacked them! Also, the edges are worn smooth on a lot of them. Some in the roll were nice though, and 3 of them ended up in my collection, all as upgrades to coins I had, none were dates I didn't have.  But the best in that roll was a strikethrough error, and amazingly still in great shape, too.  I am going to be going through more rolls soon, keeping what I need for my collection and spending the rest. I like to leave them as tips or even just spend them outright, although I rarely buy anything cheap enough to use change. I always have a few on me.  Whereas clad dimes I am only a few short of the set, and clad Quarters the same way, all from circulation, for the Kennedy halves, I am missing 29 from before 2001 and ALL after 2001.[/QUOTE]
