Im a currency collector but occasionally I would ask the tellers if they have half dollars. Last Friday they had some and I brought $200 worth. These are my finds:

1967 - 40% silver.

NIFC's:

1990's - I separated these bc they look close to uncirculated but i think Ill be going to throwing it back into circulation unless someone see's something I don't see or why I should keep it.

1980's - Same as 1990's but I did find out that 1987 is also an NIFC. Keeping that.

Bicentennial coins (gold plated): throwing these back into circulation.

    That would be a nice start to an album. Check the 71' s as it could be silver.

    .1971 Silver Kennedy? I was under the impression that 1970 was the last year for the 40% silver halves

    It is. The 40% silver stopped at 1970.

    Half dollar rolls are what I used to search. Best find ever was a WLH 1943... Have not searched any in several years now. Cheers, RickO

    @luckyrollers... I do not roll search at all now... Just really busy with other activities... I am a firearms instructor and also work at a modern indoor range. So classes, RSO duties etc. Cheers, RickO

    @luckyrollers , used to search half dollar rolls way back when. Best find was at my local bank when I got 3 rolls and they all contained 40 and 90% silver. I was stoked!

    I used to search for the silver halves in Vegas while playing the 50 cents slots, which btw where still paying in coins. Inserted a $100 bill & immediately cashed out. Played the clad halves but kept the silver ones.. That was a long time ago, but I amazed hundreds of $$$ in 40% and several handfuls of 90% over a 3 day visit....circa mid to late 90's.

    Correction: That was in Atlantic City & not Vegas...Circa early to mid 90's.

    Wow Atlantic City? Man if they still have that I would go there in a heart beat since I moved into NJ.

    Yeah A.C. is still there, but none of the remaining Casino's will pay out in coins.

    Kind of like the 1983 copper cent or the '65 silvers.
