[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1407318, member: 22331"][b]Far too complex for some![/b] [B]I know this whole coin collecting thing maybe awfully confusing for some who would like their own definitions for items. When the government struck these monetary items for which collectors have "coined" various names, they generally denominated the monetary unit with a "title" which is normally embossed on same. I know that these "titles" are over-whelming for some, but the coin that I believe your referring to is generally denominated as a HALF DOLLAR. It has an official denomination, please learn to accept and deal with it. In my real world, if I asked an associate whether they had a half, or halves, I'd more than likely receive a "Deer in the headlight" stare, and probably a query "what are you talking about?". Where if I asked whether they had ONE DOLLAR, HALF DOLLAR, QUARTER DOLLAR, ONE DIME, FIVE CENTS, ONE CENT, I would expect a lucid response. Please just learn to accept the "titles" assigned to monetary units, and I suspect you'll receive better communications. JMHO [/B]:thumb:[/QUOTE]
