I would think very few of the commemerative halves would have been circulated. Rather than showing any wear, I think their problem would just be dirt, determined by how and where they were stored. A few may have been carried for luck or used in jewelry and have wear. But I think most just laid somewhere.

You could try putting the question to the Google search box - It sure seems to know a lot ! There may well be a book dedicated to
the original commemorative series - check Amazon.com as well . Nice coin , how did you come across it ?

Why not have it professionally graded?

The Stone Mountain Memorial coin was, perhaps, the highest minted of the commemoratives; over 1.3m.
PCGS population of this coin in MS 60 or above is 11,063; topped by only one other commem. with a MS 60 or better pop. of 11,064.

Not worth spending the money to get graded on that coin. You would need to be a member for PCGS and NGC and a minimum of 5 coins for ANACS. Price for PCGS is $30 or so if you are a member. I would keep it raw, grading would not bring up the value much on your coin.

I'm guessing AU-55, $40 or so.
