Yes, it’s definitely a proof. (S mintmark and reflective surfaces) The only S 1976 halves produced were proofs.
Looks like machine doubling.
The coin is in good condition, but no double die, or anything of that type.
Not everyone is a "hater" or "jealous" for giving somebody [true] info about a coin. I agree with Oldhoopster- the merc. dime was likely in a...

Ah, Erik Larson is a great author- I've read his work "Devil in the White City". However, if I could have one book, it would be Mark Twain's...

Not much to see here, but, surprising that when I asked for $2 notes at the bank, each one was a 1976- [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I’ll probably spend all...
You can post it in the “For Sale” section of this forum after several posts on the site. Another good place to sell them is ebay.
Just noticed that the 1988 $50 would belong in the “Almost Serial Numbers” thread. After all, it is an almost repeater.
