<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 3879619, member: 107016"]Very interesting and informative. I have a very interesting story of my own to tell in regards to my own 1967 Kennedy half dollar that I found at the junkyard about 20 years ago. I used to go to the junkyard every weekend and just poke around looking for something I may need for my classic muscle car. One morning during my visit the owner and a few of his guys were cutting apart an old late 60's era Chevy that had been hit hard from in the front. They had a buyer for the rear quarter panels. While they were cutting these pieces off the car, I noticed a half dollar coin fall into the pile of debris on the ground. After they were out of the way with the part that they cut off, I reached down and picked up the coin. It was only a 1967 Kennedy half dollar. But the interesting thing about it was that it looked like brand new. I was disappointed though because I was hoping it was a 1964, since those had mostly silver content to them. Never the less, I was happy with the find and the owner said I could keep it. I'll post some pix of it on here sometime this week. Its in like mint condition only because it was stuck in the carpeting of this old car for years. Probably fell in there when the car was brand new.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, just wanted to share this story of that 67' half dollar that I found in the car at the junkyard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
