First time hunting Halfs

[Armor9]

So I am picking up $260 in halves today and another $500 is on order. As a newbie I've read the guides posted here and other places and it appears I am looking for coins minted in 1969 and before. Is that correct? Is there anything else glaring I should be looking for? Thanks!

I've only found a couple BU '82s in the >$250,000 I've hunted. Not even a roll. Don't bother with halves these days, they are dead. Make something more of yourself with the hours you will waste driving to banks, searching, and dumping.

Did you find anything?

Nothing in the $260. The $500 will be picked up next Wednesday.

I'm OK with searching half dollar boxes.
Becoming something more of myself is over rated, in my estimation.

Someone forgot to tell my bank about halves being dead. I have gotten 4 boxes in the last 2 weeks, yes 1 was a skunk, 1 had 1 40% but here are shots from what I found in the other two boxes. I AM GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE GIVING UP ON HALVES

I’ve found 2, 70D JFKs. They’re out there, but they’re rare.

My wife found 2, ‘82Ds without FGs in a CWR at a bank last year. What sets these two coins apart from the others I’ve found is these two are MS condition.

Happy hunting!
