Dint think it would take so long to find my first bicentennial silver.

Congrats! I think I've only found 4 or 5 silver '76S halves myself including one earlier this year in a cwr which was a nice surprise. I've found several clad '76S halves just this year but finding the silver ones are much more scarce in circulation and harder to find.

H$H!
 
good. I haven't found one yet, and I've been through over 1,000 boxes of halves.
 
I was under the impression that the 40% 71 Eisenhower dollars and half's are the last meant for circulation American coins featuring silver content

I am aware of the any given year silver proof special order sets available at a premium from the Mint,
Were any other made for circulation silver American coins manufactured after 71?

None of the silver (or any clad S mint) Ikes or any silver halves after 1969 (or any S mint Kennedy halves) were minted for or intended to be used in circulation.

Nice. Is it proof or mint? I've found 3 silver mint halves, but have yet to find a silver poof. I have 8 non-silver proofs from '76. On whole it's my most common S mint year, having found 11 in 14 months.
 
Nice job! I like finding them because all of the regular bicentennials get on my nerves. I've found a handful of both the business strike and proof silver bicentennials, but all of the proofs I have found have been in pretty rough shape. I can tell they are proofs because they have the mirrored background but they are all pretty beat. I actually forgot to take a picture but about a month ago I got a 1976 S silver proof as a reverse ender in a box. That was cool to see. I really like finding odd ball enders.
