<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 3661, member: 487"]Half dollars are pretty much a thing of the past these days. With the mint only making them available at a premium for collectors, you won't find them in circulation. Casinos are a good source for half dollars. Here in Delaware, we have access to them here in state, and those in Atlantic City, NJ. If you make the rounds at the banks in your area, every so often a roll can be purchased. Most will of course be of the Kennedy variety, but on occasion, the rare find of a Franklin can be had. Each year, our firm holds a coin seminar in the local elementary school. We pass out a half dollar to each student in the class. Then we offer a Mercury dime for each correct answer during the seminar. There is a growing cause to update the half dollar. Maybe even make it a circulating commemorative. So lets keep our fingers crossed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
