sorting through 2000.00 worth of HALF DOLLARS...HELP!

HEY ALL,

so i'm going through about 2k in half dollars...all the silver coins have been pulled.
just need to know any key dates to pay particularly close attention to...
i've heard people say 71's for DDO's, 82's for missing "FG" initials...any others?

i've also been dumping all non-silver bicentennials...should i not?

thank you everyone!!!

sorry if this is a repetitive question

OT , but congrats on getting that many. I can't get by bank to order any boxes for me. They flat out refused.

 

who do you bank with?
if i were you i'd take 500 out and open one with chase.
chase will do it for you no problem.

 

We're with TD. Funny you say that, I was just speaking with my wife about opening a Chase account. Have to look to see the closest to us.

 

1971-d there's a silver version (rare)
1972-p DDO
1973-d DDO
1974-d DDO

awesomeness! thanks twobit!

 

Welcome.
Also keep your eye out for 1982,1983 p & d mints in AU/UNC.
And 2000 through 2015 in BU as they were not intended for circulation and I see the at shows for $1.50-$3.00 each.

edit to add complete sets of AU/BU 1964-2015 sell on ebay for $150-$200

 

ok um what does "au/unc" and "bu" mean? lol
i already know that in my rolls the 2001 halves are always the most perfect

 

Condition of the coin
AU = Almost Uncirculated
UNC = Uncirculated
BU = brilliant Uncirculated

 

2002 to now are the nifc coins... nothing special about 2000 or 2001.

 

don't forget die rotations ..there is a handful to look for

look under the census page

awesomeness!
thank you guys!!!
i'll let y'all know if i find anything!

 

Better off opening a bank account with Satan himself at Hell Bank and Trust

 

I can't believe nobody's mentioned 70-D. You're unlikely to find one, because it was only issued in mint sets and not many made it to circulation, but if you find an UNC 70-D, that's between a $10 and $25 coin.

 

OK so I found something unique...
A 1972D half dollar with a very very light "FG" stamp... Actually quite I don't know what it is because only half the "G" is barely visible... I'll post pics in the morning

 

also found a 1983P half without "FG"

 

ok so here is my weird 1983P double die (rim) PLUS no "FG" on back...
WHAT ARE ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS?
is this thing worth anything?

 

here's the flipside:
