I was at a local convenience store and noticed the guy ahead of me was going to pay with a silver half dollar. When it was my turn, I asked the lady behind the counter if I could buy it. I do this on occasion when I see it happen. She said of course. SO here it is. Not too bad right? IT seems in really good shape. Not sure if it is worth ore than 50 cents, but still a cool find.

Congrats on the astute pickup of the silver! It's melt value is a bit over $6 and the coin value in decent condition is about $10, so a great find for you! :icon_thumleft:

Thanks Javadroid. I didn't think it was worth much. If I can ever get the obverse pic on here you will see how nice the obverse is. It almost seems to be uncirculated or at least not much. Very shiny.

Its always nice to make 12 times your money in a few seconds!
 

Hey, and you didn't even have to pop a plug! Congrats .
 

Every casino in Vegas has plenty of Kennedys in their Cashiers cages. I sometimes give them away as tips and make mention of their linage. Also seen lots of $1.00 silver coins. All courtisey of the Federal Reserve. I often go through a roll of quarters,from the casinos, some good silver pics their also.
 

Perfect timing on your part.
 

Nice score, it may just be the picture, but it kind of looks like it may have been a proof? Not tjat it makes any difference eitjer way. Just tje obverse looks different.
 

Beautiful coin! You've got a great eye for silver!
 

Way to be on your toes in the check out line! Nice score!:thumbsup:
 

Way to speak up, too!
