Message:: [QUOTE="sunflower, post: 836465, member: 23219"]Personally, I have had a gut feeling for a while now, that Ikes will be worth a whole lot more in BU or better condition in the next few years. You could always wait and see. The weight of these fellows are so cool. I doubt the Treasury will always make them (I am referring to the clads mostly).  Yet, with silver, wow, lucky you. Since the vending machines, stamp machines, car washes, etc, do not take halves, AND because there are so many state quarters out there, I would keep any pretty half dollar I could locate (especially those in mint state).  We needed money a while back and I sorted out rolls of halves before spending them, and it just did not feel right. In fact, the folks behind me in line were all pulling out their green stuff to make an exchange before the cashier could get them. I coupled those events with the fact that I just did not feel right about it, and decided to try to honor my feelings. I phoned my dad, asking for guidance, he agreed that in worn and circulated condition that the clads were worth only face. That did not seem to help the feeling that I was letting go something of value. To add to the topic, Dad, admitted that he has paid a little premium for clads on occasion.[/QUOTE]
