<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 321530, member: 4626"]Up to you... if you can't find a collector who will pay more than face value, then face value is all their worth essentially. If they're worth more than face to you, then keep them, otherwise may as well spend them...</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the reactions I get when I spend half dollars... you'd be amazed at how many people have never seen a half dollar, even those who weren't even born yet when they started minted the Kennedys. A lot of people ask if they're dollar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the rolls of halves the Mint sells aren't handled in any special way a lot of them to get a few dings and scratches. Having a whole roll each usually guarantees I'll find at least one in each roll that is reasonably acceptable for my Kennedy set. The rest I'll just spend (maybe I'll keep a few extra if any look especially good)... I like to do my part to assure they circulate at least a little lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
