Silver halves were still circulating when I worked in an ice cream parlor in the early 70s. I pulled them all out of course. I'll be the relative passing along the pile.
I really haven't done a "Set" of anything, i.e., Kennedy Half Dollars. After I saw this item, I made a list of all of the Kennedy Half Dollars, in/or out of a set, however, I don't think I want to break any of them up. I keep a box for each year and an inventory of all of the things that were acquired during that year inside each box. I also, I have printed out a list of all of the coins purchased in that year inside Sheet Protectors. I have a binder for each year with an inventory. I have a building in the back yard for my office/theater and all of the boxes are in the other room is my collection. If there are any suggestions of how to keep the inside of the boxes from being damaged, I would appreciate your help. Our backyard is fenced in with chain-link fencing with three gates, two of which are locked and the entry through the other gate is left guarded by a 3 year old Australia Shepherd that doesn't like strangers. All other items to be secured are in one of our bedrooms where our four year old Chiweenies and a wire terrier will scream their heads off if anyone comes in the house, including my wife and I. Anyway, I really would like to know the best way to have the storage rooms environmentally protected, i.e. humidity or anything else that could damage anything stored in the room. Again, thanks for the Kennedy coin pictures. It has piqued my interest in Kennedy Halfs.
