Just signed up today wanted to say hello and I am impressed with knowledge I can learn on this site so can't wait to participate
Welcome. I love half dollars also. I think they are the best looking denomination in PCGS or NGC holders. The size just fits right to the eye.
There's just something about a large coin that attracts people's eye's. Maybe it's because folks just do not see that many of them anymore? I remember that as a kid, back in the 50's, the Franklin Half Dollar was something special and, like the Peace and Morgan silver dollars, you just did not see that many of them! Keep in mind that a roll of half dollars, a single solitary roll, in a LOT of cases represented 25% of a persons weekly wage. Heck, in 1967, a roll of Half Dollars represented one-eighth of my gross pay for a 40 hour work week.
Greetings. I also like half dollars. Even though I have been here over 2 years, I am still learning things from people here more knowledgeable than me. I started collecting coins in June 1988.
Wow I am overwhelmed by response to my opening statement I know half dollars are addicting and will share some pictures may have to ass dirty or needs to show me how but will do it quickly thank you
That did not come out quite right will need to ask my young niece how to post pictures forget everything looks that good to rules thank you
