If you can find a 1973 you are in luck, minted for mint sets only not released for circulation

1976 variety 1, 1972 variety II

Any proofs you can find (S mint) some were 40% silver others copper nickle clad

Quicksilver,

The best places to pick up lots of Ikes and Halves are in New Haven, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Greenwich, and Westport. Newtown, Danbury, and Brewster, NY are ok for Ikes but better for halves.
If you like finding dimes and quarters the best places are from Greenwich crossing into New York and hitting all of the towns to and including Mt. Kisco.
As far as I know I'm the only one hunting in this area and I can't cover it all. On the downside traffic starts to become very heavy in these areas by 3pm so you have to head out before then.
