I will be doing my first half dollar box and I know to pull the silve but are there any other coins worth pulling out.

You may find proofs, I pull them.
there are some errors in jfks but I can't name them.
real over the 1/2 dollars and other coins thread for 2011 and you'll find probably everything you need to know.
Best of Luck!

I pull out all clad commemoratives, clad proofs (S-mintmarks), and NIFCS (2002 to date clads). All of this is not worth much, but occasionally you will find someone that wants 'em. There are also clad error coins, for those with young eyes wish to pursue them.

I haven't gotten into half dollar boxes yet but am considering starting. Being that I am in the Philly area and assume you might be also, can you give me an idea of which bank(s) might actually carry half dollar boxes? I have accounts at TD and Wells Fargo, and was thinking of adding Citizens. Thanks for your input!
