Rats, foiled again.

I picked up a few CWR of halves today. Again, no silver. That's why I gave up months ago. Just thought I would give it a try.

However, one of the rolls was marked "BU" which made me rather excited until I took the coins out. They are all 1776-1976.

There was also another roll of BUs as follows. They are in better shape than the Bicentennial halves with bright coppery-orange edges although the optimized scan may not show it.
1-1995P
3-1995D
14-1997P
1-1998D
1-2000P

Anyway, are these coins worth more that $0.50 each? I will just buy gas with them if not.

Out of the last $5000 of halves I've got, $4500 of them have been solid rolls (with a very few exceptions) of BUs - 1994-P, 1994-D, 1995-P, 1998-P, and 2000-P. These are coming from the Richmond, VA fed via Brink's. Maybe some will come your way too. :lol: I'm kind of sick of them, because it's impossible to get any SILVER from these. :(

Sounds like I'm not missing much, having stopped sorting six months ago or so. Bill... are the nationwide finds results for halves showing a noticeable drop-off?

Yes!! Hoard all the bicentennials you can find! They will be worth a bundle during the tri-centennial! :P :mrgreen:

The experts have all weighed in. Some have recommended that I use my halves as gas money and some are just full of gas. :P :mrgreen:
