5 tubes of 2004 S Half Dollars

[jdp311]

Hello all,

First time posting, and new guy to the world of CRH.

I visited a local CU today and asked for half dollars. They sold me 5 tubes of brand new 2004 S Kennedy half dollars. I have been trying to do research because they are brand new and have not been in circulation. Any chance I have something here?

The FIRST post notes the significance of S mint halves. You DO have something. Read the how to guide at the top of the forum.

Assuming they aren't impaired in anyway (scratches/fingerprints/etc.), then they are indeed worth a premium on the secondary market. They can either be a clad or silver (90%) proof. Most likely, you have clad proofs. Selling individually will net the largest profit, but it will take a while to unload. Keeping them in the tube and selling them as is will be the quickest way to realize the profit.

Welcome to the madness.

Thank you, guys! I read the newbie guide and gained a good bit of knowledge but didn't quite understand everything. All these coins look like they have never been removed from the tubes. They are not finger printed or scratched. Do you guys have an estimate at how much the secondary premium might be? like $5.00 a coin or more? I have looked around and have seen a little of everything as far as price goes. They have the copper band around the edge, so they are not 90%.

Thank you for the welcome, as well.

Other than the 5 tubes of 2004-S, I found one 40% 1968. Not bad for a day especially if i can get something for the 5 tubes of 2004-s.

If you sell them individually, you might expect a realized price of $2-3. I would sell them as a roll in which case $1.50 -$2.00 each would be expected. Sell 4 tubes, and the remaining coins I would sell individually. I would keep one myself and make a note on the 2x2 of the score and the final profit realized. Looking back in 5 years the money will be gone, but the coin will remain to remind you of your first solid rolls.

I very much like the idea of keeping on as a reminder. I do believe this is what I will do. Got any advice at where to sell these?

eBay. A couple of pictures and a 1 sentence description. Start at face value and let them the market decide what their value is. One roll at a time and one individual coin at a time.
