When you CRH do you bother to save Kennedy halfs minted after 2001 since that is when they stopped issuing them for general circulation to banks ?
I have been saving mine, but after a Year I've got about $200 worth of them and I'll probably dump most of them soon. I'd say keep at least one of each year/mint mark for yourself.
A lot of silver hunters i talk to say they do not keep them because they just find to many, but i like to put my aside. Hopefully they will be worth something someday.
I can't afford to save all of them. I will set aside some if they're interesting in other ways, like a set that is nicely toned.
That's what I would do. Are you finding that many? I find more forty-percenters than post-01 coins. How they even get into rolls is a mystery to me: why would you buy special mint coins at a premium, then spend them at face value??
Lately I've found more fourth percenters. But I did get 2 boxes (1000 dollars) That I pulled like 30 bucks In post 01 coins out of.
I have made a set from 64-2010 so far for my grandson If I pull a real nice one while searching I set it a side or dif mint marks till I am done with the box or what ever then I get my binder out and check and see if the ones I have saved are better than the one I just cherry picked if not I switch them out but I would like to have at least a P&D set for him someday. Its almost done. You have to remember these are also business strikes so If casino's ordered them or other places they can get into circulation easy lately I have not seen a lot but for the last few years I had a boat load of them in my Boxes. I do get the ocasional proof also, And a few bicentennial 40%ers too.
I find WAY more NIFC halves. If I had saved them all I'd have at least a box full by now. I probably get $2 or $3 worth per box on average. And I think that they get into circulation the same way silver coins do: Someone inherits them and doesn't know what they have. Or, if they do know, then they just can't be bothered to realize the small premium over face value that NIFC coins command (and I can't really blame them, TBH). In order of accuracy: Weight, sound, color.
