<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 1038902, member: 25813&quot;]I much enjoyed reading the posts on this thread. Quite informative. I&#039;d never heard the theory about the mint lacking the ability to produce good quality non-silver halves. One question, though. The English removed silver from their coinage in 1947, and were producing cupro-nickel half crowns (larger than US halves) from that date. They even made cupro-nickel crowns in 1951, 1960 and 1965. If they could do it, why couldn&#039;t we?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
