Message:: [QUOTE="Half Dollar*, post: 650718, member: 15737"]The Red Book says that the following dates were not issued for circulation: 2001-P, 2002-P & D, 2003-P & D, 2004-P & D, 2006-P & D, and 2007 P & D.My Red Book is out of date, so I can't say for the 2008. To my knowledge, none were issued for circulation this year. I would be very surprised if I'm wrong. Halves don't really circulate as it is, to mint some for circulation in this economy seems like a rather dumb idea. I personally only keep the 2006 P & D's, the P's have a mintage of 2,400,000, and the D's 2,000,000. I can't really tell you if there is currently a market for circulated coins, as I've never tried to sell them. But I can say I have never seen a dealer offering them in grades below MS-60. Which leads me to believe there is very little, or no market for circulated coins. Why should there be? There are more than enough to go around in uncirculated condition. That said, I would keep an eye on the '06-D. I think it may become what the 1950-D is to the Jefferson nickel series. In all grades.[/QUOTE]
