Any value to AU/BU halves?

[brian0918]

After the excitement yesterday with my first half box producing over 6 ounces of silver, I called around to all the nearest banks to see if they had any halves. One place said they had $70 in rolled halves, so I stopped by there, but as I was buying them, they mentioned that the halves were dropped off by a coin shop owner, so I wasn't expecting any silver. And there wasn't any.

But what I found was that most of them were very shiny proof-like in appearance (but no S-mint), even going all the way back to 1971, with little or no wear. There were also a lot of brand new looking 2002-2008 halves, which I know are lower mintage ones.

So are these worth anything significant? Would anyone here be interested in them?

If they are truly BU halves, you should be able to find a buyer. There are several coin dealers here who may be able to give you some advise on where and how to market them.
