proof clad

found some clad proof at the bank yesterday in the coin counter and just wondering if they are worth more then 50 cents. or can i sell them for any more than face value, thanks.

Depends on the condition, my friend!

Unless you really need 50 cents - might as well save it, at least for now.

Most proofs pulled from circulation command not-so-much of a premium.

I brought a small container full of clad proofs to my LCS. He didn't even look at them. Circulated is circulated. That was the last time I considered keeping a clad proof.
I think our beginner's guide to coin roll hunting is a good resource, but it certainly can be polished. One of those improvements would be getting rid of the notion that "proof coins can be very lucrative". 99.9% of the time it is not the case.

When I find them I put them in my collection for the heck of it. I don't see a lot of them. Not sure what I'll do if I find a duplicate of what I already have. Maybe stick in the collections I am building for my kids.

Thanks guys for all your information. Out.

I save then have found around $5 worth of them. I see no harm in saving them since it doesn't dent my roll

doesn't dent my roll

Good saying, I'll need to remember it!

There is very little demand for Kennedy proof (or NIFC) half dollars that are below PF-65 (MS65 for NIFCs), despite their low mintage (<5million/yr).
I wonder if the mint stopped making Kennedy halves or switch to a new design, would that change people's interest!?

clad proofs aren't good to resell, as others have said before, you can buy the entire set inexpensively.
