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!

NIGHT, It Is Silver, If Edges Pounded Down Someone Was Probably Trying To Make A Ring Out Of It. A Lot Of GI's Did This In There Spare Time in Years Gone By, Best of Luck & Good Hunting trk5capt...
