Message:: [QUOTE="panda, post: 931017, member: 24443"]my grandma came over with a huge thing filled with halves, ikes, and sba's. also a bunch of other change. there was 4 rolls of pennies. i noticed the rolls looked old, but not as old as i thought. the newest coins were 1978's. wherever she kept them, they toned so nice! a lot of them were beautiful rainbow toned. i took a few of the nicer ones out and am leaving the rest in the rolls for years to come. now all the ikes are non silver. some bicentennial ones, overall there was $76 in ikes. i will probably just keep them. all the sba's were 1979 and 1980 P$D's. there is around 22 of them and will keep them as well. onto the jfk halves.. there was 120 of them and only two silvers('67&'68). the rest were late 70's and early '80's, with about 20 bicentennials. there is a '71 that is real nice, i know its not a proof, but looks close. before i spend them, is there anything i should be looking for? i know to look for ones missing the "FG". is there any certain years? i have a few that look like they are missing it, but it may be weak strike.. i found a 1993 Jamaican dollar coin, i know its not rare, but its a pretty cool coin. i also found something really weird and will be making a thread about it later tonight. i also will post pictures of some of todays finds. i had fun today and also got a '47 and '53-D jefferson nickel i needed for my circulation set![/QUOTE]
