Found my oldest 50 cent to date....

[tank014]

To bad its 50 centimes. ERR. I went on a 1 hour drive to visit banks near my old college. Visited a bunch of banks. Was able to find 3 40%ers and a 64 Kennedy from Teller trays. I also bought a 941$ bag of halves from a coin counter. This is were I found my 1908 Republic Haiti 50 centimes!!! 101 Years old. To bad its not American would have been my first barber. This isn't the first time the barber has eluded me. Would have been nice if either of them would have been American. I really need a hair cut. Err. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,170284.0.html I lost my camera cord but as soon as i find it I'll post a pic of the coin. Anyone know if the 1908 Republic Haiti 50 centimes was silver. Kinda sounds like it is but I can't seem to find out if it really is or not.
Thanks and HH,
Frank

Its still cool to find coins like this. I always wonder where they have been and how many lives they have touched.
