[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 874713, member: 18369"]You can buy the Cherrypicker's guide, or a book I own, "Strike it Rich With Pocket Change." Off the top of my head for Half Dollars: 1964 and older - 90% silver (found) 1965 - 1970 - 40% silver (the 1970 is rare to find and sells for quite a high premium). (found) 1982, 1983, 1989P - the designer's initials "FG" are missing on the reverse on some coins in these years (found 82 & 83, but not 89p) 1974 DDO - Doubling on "we trust" on the obverse (found) 1987 - Not made for circulation, only mint sets, so if you find one, hold on to it as it can be sold for a premium (found) 2002-present - not made for circulation, only for collectors (I find MANY of these and don't keep them all) 1989D - doubling on the D (haven't found one yet) Early 1971-3 some doubling on the obverse (haven't found one yet). Proofs (any year with an "S" mint mark) (found many) I have also found a couple of neat stuck through errors. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]
