New to CRH..and questions

[wildrider]

After reading this forum for a week or so I thought I'd give it a try.

So, last Saturday I went out to 5 bank branches in my area and only got $6.50 in halves...nothing "good".

Today (Saturday), I went to the other bank branches in town and got 3 rolls and $6 individuals.
Out of that I got a 1950 Franklin, two 1964's and a 1968.

Now...

+ When I get to look at these closer, are there other key dates I can look for?
+ How do I know if I get a proof?
+ Almost Uncirculated? I got 3 or 4 - 94's that shine more than others (alot more) as a
matter of fact, one has a fingerprint on it, otherwise I would think it just came from the mint.

Got some covers and plan on "dumping these at my credit union out of town.

I've got a bunch somewhere around where I bought a guys collection about 10 years ago...I guess I need to find those. LOL.

Thanks!

Burt

If it has an "S" mintmark it is a proof.

keep an eye out for any 87s and anything after 2001, they are pretty rare.

True, 1999P has the lowest non-proof mintage aside from the not-for-circulation 2002-2007 dates, but I see them by the handful for some reason. I don't save them myself.

Thanks CC,

That is VERY informative.

Now I gotta open my rolls again and look for the 1987's.
