50 cent piece

[Nightf10182003]

Ok..I found a 1957 fifty cent piece today...pics to follow later. The coin itself is in good shape as far as shiney and not worn down..but the edges are dented and flattened out like someone hit it with a hammer...does this thing have any value? Is it silver?

Hi Night, Pre-1964 half dollars are 90% silver. If it's damaged it probably isn't worth more than silver value, but it's a great find, nonetheless!
