I had asked a couple of dealers if there was any interest in paying a premium for the couple of NIFC halves I had found. Basically, NO. Unless they are pristine in condition, they don't want them as their customers expect to be able to buy an uncirculated coin from them and these wouldn't fit that criteria.
I do agree though with keeping any 1987 that you find. They are very, very hard to find, at least for some of us. In over two years I have only found one from searching rolls, and one from going through loose halves I got at the coin shop for face value.
Maybe you'll find someone willing to trade for years they need as they try to fill their half dollar album.
Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.
