*If you don't have any of the above key or better dates, not to worry! If you have any DIMES, QUARTERS, & HALF DOLLARS with years of 1964 or BEFORE Don't Spend Them!!! They are made of 90% silver and are worth more than their face value!

Also, if you have any John F. Kennedy Half Dollars from 1965-1970 - they too are worth more than face value. They are made of 40% silver so you do not want to spend these either!!
