Question about which halves to keep

[jack584]

My first box of halves should be coming next week and I'm wondering which ones to keep. I know you should keep 1969 and older and newer than 2001, but are there any other special dates worth keeping?

1970....by far the hardest Kennedy year to find (and also 40% silver). I have only found one in 16 months.

Its 1970 and earlier. 1970 is silver also. And 1987's. And 1975

 

[captainfwiffo]

And 1975

I see what you did there.

No 1975 half dollars were made, in 1975 and 1976, they made the bicentennial half dollars(the backs have independence hall on it, below kennedy the date says 1776-1976, though they were also minted in 1975.

1970 and older(1971's are common and are only worth $0.50)
1987 p and 1987 d, those were only issued in a united states mint set, to get one, someone had to break open the mint set and release the half dollar into circulation.
2002 and newer as well(I only keep the real shiny ones that are unmarked/damaged)

obviously i was joking poster right below me got it.
but i'll say it again. if you ever find a half with 1975 date on it, do not, i repeat, DO NOT, toss it back

i once sold a 1922 morgan dollar for $50 and i will regret it till the day i die.

and, by the way, the fact that these halves don't exist, does not stop sellers on ebay to sell them lol:

1922 Morgan
That another joke?

Keep them all, let the grand kids sort them out.

1922 Morgan
That another joke?

I remember reading somewhere that there were reports of some extremely rare 1922 Morgan dollars struck. I would imagine one of those would be way more rare than the 1921 Peace dollars. Who knows what makes it out of the mint sometimes. I've found a few error coins that have had me stumped as to how they made it into circulation
