Box of half dollars need advice

rmuniak

Just finished a box of halves . Of course found no silver , however I did add 10 coins to my collection and upgraded at least another 15.
I need advice now that I have a new binocular microscope as to what to look for as unusual in the box of half dollar coins . Any specific dates . I looked in Variety Vista and saw a ton of them listed. What are my chances of finding something. Appreciate anything.

Recommend Cherrypickers’ Guide Volume II for half dollars.

The 1972 D No FG is hard to find.. I still need this for my registry set.

Agree with the 74-D DDO, I think there's also a 73-D but not as strong.

Just don't unload them back at your bank, they generally don't like that.

I didn't even know that was a thing, very cool!

I save impaired proofs (though I doubt worth anything) and any clad halves with attractive toning. I have found some very beautiful and uniquely toned halves. Not sure about the potential value of those, but I keep them first and foremost because I like them. Those could have some potential value, especially the MS ones. Here are some examples. No telling whether NT or AT, but I sure find them pretty:
