[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 99736, member: 4626"]Personally I'm trying to complete a year and mintmark set, using Whitman coin folders to do it. Besides completing a set, always looking for improved condition coins on ones I have, probably the best keepers to look out for are: 1964's- 90% silver 1965-1970- 40% silver (especially the 1970-D, the key of the series, only released in mint sets) 1987 P&D- semi-key, relatively low mintages and only released in mint sets 2002-present- low mintages, only released in mint sets Anything S minted (except ones for bicentennial uncirculated sets) are proofs and worth keeping if in decent condition still. May or may not want to save 1999-P's and 2000-P's, both with mintages under 10 million, but just barely so. And of course definitely want to save any pre-1964 halves you find (though those won't be Kennedy's, but is a small chance you may find some in half dollar rolls). See anything that might have an interesting error, take a close look at it. I'm not an error expert as far as what's rare or especially valuable... but if something looks odd, take a close look to see if you have an interesting and possibly valuable error.[/QUOTE]
