To the person who owns the engraver:

[Omega]

PLEASE STOP ENGRAVING THE COINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn't bother me if you were marking them with sharpy, or engraving common dated ones, but you are engraving proofs and low mintage post 2002 halfs as well. Please stop, or at least explain your reasoning! Thank you

You keep the post 2002 halves?

 

[Omega]

I do, because they are all low mintage <3,000,000 made, they will be worth something in the future.

 

[Joe777Cool]

Yeah I have considered that before, on several occasions I have encountered full $500 boxes of NIFC halves and just dumped them. Seem so common now adays its hard to imagine they will carry a premium one day

 

[Omega]

I always get 2001-d boxes that are brand new, I just dump those, you really get new boxes of post 2002?

Seriously? I highly doubt you've received full boxes of coins that weren't intended for circulation?

 

[Omega]

I would have kept some! Haha one day they'll be worth someone

Consider it to be raising the value of your mint state specimens in the future..

They are generally worth 2x to 4x face value or more on ebay. I've been hanging on to them just to sell to supplement by CRH bankroll. Same reason I keep copper cents, 2009 nickels and dimes, and buy Ikes. Seems silly not to when you're going through lots of volume like most of us do. 2002 2008 Kennedy Half Dollar Lot 20 Coins UNCIRCUL8TD BU Roll from US Mint Sets | eBay

 

[BuffaloBoy]

if I kept all the post 2002 halves, i'd have like $2,000 FV tied up in them! I've gotten boxes last year with about half full of 2010p and 2010d halves from somebody's collection dump. There were no silver coins in that batch either.

 

[BRChiver]

Wow guess I should pay alittle more attention to numeristic value; I usually get around $250 worth of 2002-2013 halves a week.

 

[jamesandsons]

Yeah I certainly wouldn't keep $2k worth, but if you can double your money in $10-20 lots, it certainly seems worthwhile to me. Of course, I haven't actually sold any myself yet. But all of the auctions seem to be pretty consistent.

 

[Omega]

You dont even have to keep them. Just throw them up on eBay and get some more money for hunting! haha
