68-S & 69-S cents

I'm still looking for my misplaced holed bust half dollar album but I did find several rolls of 68-S & 69-S cents that I bought from Danny Crabb in 1970. What do I need to look for in them?

    Thanks for bringing up a name I don't hear too much any
    more, even here in the San Fernando Valley, where his
    shop was.

    I used to go to the shop as a teenager; later, working
    for Numismatics, Ltd., I'd go in the shop on occassion.

    One of the things I remember about Danny was that he
    had, and was proud of, the Worst Set of Commemorative
    Silver Coins ever assembled - (well circ., good/ag, etc.).

    This was at a time when most collectors thought it was a
    complete waste of time to collect 'lowest grade known'.

    He had fun adding to it, and showing it off to some of us.

    I don't know what happened to the set.
