There's not really much premium for NIFC halves, most dealers don't even want them, and it ties up a lot of space and money for collectors to keep what they don't need. Other than putting the effort into listing on eBay and dealing with seller fees, papal fees, and shipping costs, the easiest way to deal with the surplus is getting face value.</p><p>I used to save all the NIFC's I found until I realized all this, and that there are millions of them still out there in as good or better condition than what I can find.
