Half Dollar Question

[mark v]

How can I tell the half dollars that are worthsaving from the ones that aren't worth saving? What I mean is I read about halves that are, for example, 40% silver, maybe 70%. I'm not sure about those percentages but I know a '65 coin is probably better to have that a '90. Which one's are better off having?

Thanks

Get yourself a Red Book. Don't go by the prices on that PCGS cite. They're giving you prices for their high grade, slabbed coins. They're usually over-priced and do not correspond to coins we find in the ground.

If your looking for silver:

1964 and before are 90% silver
1965-69 are 40% silver
and also keep all S mints.
