Question. What is the reason you kept the 1982p half?

 

[ERobertson]

Lower mintage for that year.

 

[enamel7]

Just remember, value will only cross over to better condition. I find them all of the time.

 

[ERobertson]

Regarding the 1982p :

Oh yes.

I keep the better conditioned ones and redeposit the others.
