<p>[QUOTE="Fifty, post: 953123, member: 24555"]Today I stopped in a random bank and asked for halves. They had $6 which they sold to me happily. One of them was a 1967 so I was happy. It was very greenish. I did not notice it right away. This is not the first time I have gotten a greenish half. It always seems to happen when I get one from a teller's drawer and not from a roll. I am wondering is it green because 40% halves have such a high copper content or is it because it has been circulating for a while and come in contact with lots of hands. </p><p> </p><p>To look at this coin from the side it looks alot like a normal clad. I always check dates. I have found a few silver halves in rolls I know that were already searched or someone else's dump rolls. These silver halves are always dirty and worn, but it's not the side that makes them silver it's the date![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
