My Beerdoodle's Whim, Nice Half Box!

jack&jill · Jan 27, 2013

After reading "Beerdoodles" post I thought I try a box of coins. Seeing the "King's" success I choose a box of Halves. Well there was not a single Silver coin. No 90%er's, no 40%er's. But It was still a very nice box of finds.

This was evidently a box that somebody cashed in. It contained 36 Proofs, including 10 coins from 2002-2008. Also in the proofs are 2 1987's. And there was more, 3 1987D's, 4 1987P's plus 19 more coins from 2002-2012.

A lot of the Proofs look fantastic with a extreme gloss shine. Jill and I shared the fun as we were competing with each other to find the next good coin. Sorry some of the pictures did not turn out so good but the reflections from the coins made it very tough. Jack

That is a great box even with the silver skunk. I have been through many boxes and only have one 1987 to show for it. It had to be a dump of a collection because you just don't see that many in a box...EVER!!

Congrats.

history

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to track a coins history. Maybe some crack head cleaned out grandpa's coin collection or somebody died and an heir who knows nothing of coins came along and thought they were worth fifty cents :?:

I went to buy rolled pennies at Beerdoodles's credit union, they were all out of pennies, so I got halves. Poor me! ~Jack

PS. Halves, save proofs (S mints), 1987's, 2002-2013, and pre-70 is silver.

why 1987?

jack&jill · Jan 27, 2013

1987 were not meant for public distribution, very few of them were produced.

Halves are awesome to go through. I highly encourage it. Really, the only thing to look for are Silver (you know what year those are). Don't forget 66-70 are 40%, 1987 is NIFC (Not intended for circulation), 2002- current is also NIFC. Other than that, they can just go right back to the bank. Check for the 1982 no "FG" while your at it, and you will pretty much get all the good coins.

According to this link http://cointrackers.com/coins/661/1987-d-kennedy-half-dollar/ the 1987s are worth $5-$6

or according to Ebay they are worth about a BUCK

http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=1987+kennedy+half&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc

I've CRH a LOT of halves, and I used to save the NIFCs & clad proofs - I got tired of looking at them, cashed them in & bought a handful of silver American Eagles

(But I'll gladly sell any and all NIFCs and Clad Proofs that I get to anybody that wants to pay a premium + shipping for 'em.)

Thanks Josh..now it makes more sense now have to see if my bank will sell me a box and then find a bank who will take them with no hassle. Looks like im going to get hooked on this since the weather is working with me.
