I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
After a long time of CHR, I finally found a JFK '87P. I've been keeping my eyes open for an '87, and after thousands upon thousands of halves searched, I finally found one.
I still haven't found a Walker. I want to find a Walking Lib so bad!
I'd love to find a commemorative half and of course, a Barber too. I am nearly obsessed with finding a Walker though.
What coins are you still wanting to find?

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
My list for halves:
Key date walker (1921-D would be nice...), silver proof (either pre-65 or 92-present), a Barber, a seated and a solid roll. Along with finding some British coin in a roll of halves... A silver half crown would be nice... But I'd take a pre-decimal penny.

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
It took me almost $30k in halves to find an '87. Then found 3 in just a couple boxes (all Denvermint, i think). In that same $30k, I have found 1 walker ('42) and 3 Bennies. No commems and the only foreign was a '74 Balboa. Pretty bland

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
Still looking for the 1970 (either mint) as well. I collect the proofs too but that set has a long way to go (circulation finds only allowed). Would love to own a walking liberty in BU condition, beautiful coin. I do have a couple WL halves I have found CRH so I've been blessed that way. (BTW would trade/barter for a BU WL half if anyone wants to talk)

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
I've only been crh'ing for about a month.. I've gone through about 4500-5000$ worth of halves in that time. Maybe 6000$. I've found and kept 3x1987 coins, not sure about where they're minted, I don't keep them organized except for all the NIFC's in one baggie lol. They're rarely handled, they always look crisp when I find them.
My most intense goal right now is to find a Franklin half! I found a WL in my first week, extreme luck. Must, find, franklin.
CRH Totals since Aug 20th (updated December 12th)
Walking Liberties - 2
Ben Franklins - 7
90% Kennedys - 9
40% Kennedys - 60
Rosies - 3 (1 in bag of havles, 2 in reject bin)

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
What I really want to find from a half dollar box that I have not gotten before:
Any type of commemorative(perferrably an older silver one)
A complete set of proofs from circulation(will take a long long time), so far I have like 7 or 8 different dates), newest 2008
A silver proof(1992-present)
silver bi-centennial(already have 2 proof bicentennials)
1970 half dollar, both mintmarks
a complete franklin half dollar set ...could happen in my lifetime!
A barber or older half dollar, i have yet to find a barber, I need a haircut too!
1964-d half dollar(I have gotten 11 1964-p kennedies, no denver ones)
a proof 40%/90% silver coin.
Long list, but if I keep at CRH'ing half dollars once in a while, i could very well get one.

^ I have found a 1970 D. Good luck with finding that 1970 half dollar. I think the mint has them stored away with all of the 1975 halves.

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
I'm still looking for the 1970 myself. But this week I got 9 1987s and a 67 in $20 of customer rolls at a US Bank I typically avoid going into because the never have any rolled half dollars.

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
Thank you for all of your replies!
There are tons of coins that I'd still like to find, like the 70 JRK half, but a Walking Lib is at the top of my list.
I'd still like to find a silver S proof.
Anyone else want to chime in?

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
^ Guys, they didn't make a 1970 half. Stop lookin' for it. They only made a D and S.

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
Im still looking for a walker too! Ive found Kennedys, Bens, and a Barber though. I highly doubt that I will ever find a seated half.

Re: I finally got one...Which coins are you still looking for?
Only 1 of my 3 boys is into coins. I bought him a Dansco JFK album (including proofs) for his birthday... He searches rolls w/me. So far, we have about 10 proofs, including 1 40% 69S, and most of the NIFCs. It's a blast searching the halves if u have this album. I highly recommend it! Plus, it gives u something to look thru after u edge search 2 skunk boxes from the bank!
My want list:
64 proof
70d
Walkers!
I have only 1 Ben so far.
