After a while of just searching for silver (with low/average results) I started working on a set just to make it more interesting for me. Now I'm down to just 4-5 business strikes for a full set (in near/BU condition) before I concentrate on proofs.
It's very interesting to me when I see different patterns of wear based on different years. For example, there are a ton of 71-74s in great condition, however later 70s are pretty beat up. The early 80s aren't too bad to find in nice condition however 84-87 is quite tough. Then I see a ton of the early 90s coins in heavy circulated shape.
Has anyone had similar observations. I would surmise from this that it appears there is an ebb and flow with the half in regard to patterns of circulation. Sometimes it gets popular/more use, other times no one really cares about them.
I can't for the life of me find a nice shape '84 though - they all seem to have any hair details completely wiped clean.
