[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 159354, member: 4068"]First of all with mintages in the hundreds of millions there were no shortages. Second, 50 cents was worth a lot more, but still a lot easier to put aside compared to 2 dollar roll of nickels or 5 dollar roll of dimes etc. I grew up in the sixties and rather poor for that matter. A hand full of cents BU or other wise could buy a kid a great deal back then. I guess my point was that at any income level a collector would have no trouble putting 1 cent roll(s) aside in the late fifties and sixties. Maybe that's why there are some many BU's from that era still around.[/QUOTE]
