I was just wondering what people do with their Canadian halves that are .999 Ni. Since they are hard to acquire are you able to get a premium for them if you sell them on craigslist or kijiji? Would a coin shop give you more than 50 cents for them?
I have $98.50 1999 50 cent pieces. They look like they are unciculated and I doubt they were ever out of the bag they came in. I think it was a $100 bag ans some one took out a few. What would be the best way to get more than face value for them?

They are not worth more than face. The amount of nickel in them worth less than 17 cents.

I once saw a teller refuse to take a modern canadian 1/2 from a kid saving for Disneyland. I bought it off him for 2 quarters.

I have a few friends that work in banks and I let them know I like wierd coins and bills. My dump bank has been saving everything for me lately. Its been pretty nice. I dont know if I should change them to a pick up or not. I like how things are going there though.

I dont know where Im going to spend them yet. Maybe for tips or something like that.
