Sounds like an ordinary Bicentennial Half. Am I missing something? Please post photos if you have something out of the ordinary.

They made 1976 coins that were dual dated to commemorate the U.S.A.'s bicentennial. They made tons of them, so they're very common, and generally only worth face value.

A little bit of grammar education goes a long way. Or just try to use coherent sentences, at least.
Yeah. Aside from trying to figure out where to end each thought, I had to really think what a "bildin" was. It helped when I realized he was talking about Independence Hall.Originally Posted by Lon Chaney

I think the best way to assist us in understanding what it is you are trying to explain, is to post a couple of photo's of your coin. Welcome to the Forums.
Well, there was no question asked. I think he was simply telling us what a bicentennial half dollar looks like. Just a little bit of very hard to read information.
Quite possibly.
LMAO!!! I still had no idea what "bildin" meant until I read your reply! Wow, I am not all here today
of course those who refuse to open there eyes and have a look .....cant see it.
True. But maybe English isn't this posters first language. Or he just uses poor grammar. So what? Most of us are here to help. So if someone is seeking information about a coin they have, they should be able to get it here. No need to turn the whole thread into picking apart someone's post for grammar and spelling errors.

Ok, you could be right. But most languages have sentences, commas, and periods. I'm just saying, it could help to read it with some punctuation.
Wow! look at all the excitment over the "bildin" I too didn't understand until I read further and finally it hit me he meant bulding oh well... I'm terrable at spelling and punctuation but use as best as I can...this guy must be from West Va.. Wow! Anyway I too have several rolls for sale unsearched by me for sale at $25 ea roll ... Good price for coins just lying around in storage for years don't know cond , you are buying as I did unknown but hopfully all in good or better shape ... Lots made but not so much as easy to find as a few years ago...Edited , B/S/T offers only in classified areas after 10 posts. Scott (Grampa)

Did it ever occur to you that maybe, JUST MAYBE, English is the OP's second language?
Yes it could, but as stated, if English is the OP's second language, they're not well versed on proper grammar or punctuation.
Cut the guy some slack!

Well it's a little late on this one, since those comments were from April. However, I doubt he used an online translator. The misspelling of the word "building" wouldn't happen, and using "write" for "right" wouldn't have happened. I suppose English could have been a learned 2nd language from a while back, and the OP was drawing on old knowledge to try to translate.
But I kind of doubt it. He's asking about a US coin, which would suggest he's in the US. And if he doesn't speak English, Spanish would be the other likely choice. And Spanish has a very similar structure to English.
You can't sell things outside of the Classifieds forum. And also, $25/roll is about $15 more than they're worth. Bicentennials are the highest mintage halves, and are very readily available. Even in BU you aren't talking much of a premium.Wow! look at all the excitment over the "bildin" I too didn't understand until I read further and finally it hit me he meant bulding oh well...
