Who collects halves for more than silver value?

[Dok Holliday]

I've got a 1949 Ben that is almost FBL (I think...I'm not really a collector, so I can't judge FBL)...and a small handful of 1965 JFKs that are BU. I feel guilty having them, because all I value them for is their silver content. I really think someone else would appreciate these more than I do because they are collector quality. All I really want these things for is the silver content…finding them for face value is fun…but I don’t really have an artistic appreciation for them. If I want to enjoy the art, I can simply find an image of a proof Walker or Franklin online and be happy with that.

Any of you guys in the same situation? How do you handle it? Just suck it up and handle it like a man? Take them to your coin shop and trade for junk silver? Anyone interested in helping me?

Hey ChainChomp, you can ya know... go to the bank and take out the older coins and sell them, then buy more junk silver than you started with.
