I picked that year because 1964 was the last year that regular circulation coins were 90% silver. The Kennedy half dollars were 40% silver through year 1970, then had no silver. So, I have Kennedy's up to 1970.
In pennies, I picked the 1958 as the collecting date as that is the last year of the wheat backed penny.
When I was in school I was a cashier at a High's Dairy store, so I ran across these quite often in the early 70's.

I will have to check for pre 1964 coins in what I have. Any particular reason for your collection strategy?
