Starting my first CRH Tomorrow! Half questions.

[68MUDSTUD]

I'm so excited, I have a box of halves coming tomorrow, as I am going to the big city for the weekend for a docs appt monday, So hopefully I'll get to hunt two boxes. I have read the sticky at the top of this forum, and this is what I have marked down to look for:

65-70 - 40%
64 and older - 90%
Any S mint is a proof
87P & 87D is for mint sets
post-01 worth keeping as they werent meant for circulation.


What else should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance!

You've pretty much got it covered. Since 1992, the mint has also issued 90% silver proof halves. But, they'll both sound and look silver as well as have an "S" mintmark so you likely wouldn't have missed them anyway. There have also been many different commemorative halves minted...some clad and some silver. Some CRHers also look for 1974-D doubled dies, and "no FG" halves. A quick google search will give you info and pics of these if you choose to search for them.

Good luck!
