Bicentennial (1776-1976) 40% Half Dollar - Found

[Gilmore Happy]

That's right, $6.00 in loose from the teller contained it.

I can't really find much on these, are these worth any more than a 40% half? I didnt even know they existed.

Thanks!

It's a 40%... Nice score though.

Thanks. I guess I wouldve figured it out when I got home and realized the sound difference when I clanked them with my other 90%'s.

It's a beauty bc it fooled me! Im also on lunch break, so was in a rush.

Guess I need to change my title.

I put mine in coin flips instead of mixing them in with rolls of 40s. Not sure they are worth any more than any other 40%er, but they sure are harder to find than most.

Is the one you found a proof? Maybe that's why it seemed like a 90%er to you...

It has an S mintmark. I think I thought it was 90% because I found a 2001-S that was 90% and I assumed they were the same thing.

Defintely going to keep it seperate as I havent heard many, if any, talk about these.
