I Can Finally Check That Off The Ol' Bucket List (Silver Bicentennial Half)...

I've been hunting for a long time and gone through hundreds of half dollar boxes. Today was the first time ever that I found a 40% silver bicentennial half dollar. That's right, a silver 1976 S, just let loose in the wild and recaptured again today. Good stuff.

This was a great way to end an 18 box skunk streak!

I also found three other 40%ers in the same box.

Happy Hunting!

I found my first yesterday! I bought an envelope full of halves from a teller and as she was counting them on the counter it was right on top of the pile. I was thinking to myself, boy that bicentennial sure looks strange, never thinking that I would finally find one!

Congrats

Congrats!!! They do surprise you, just don't look like they should be silver since they're a bicentennial. What's you next one to mark off the ol' bucket list? HH

Very cool find, they are a hard one to find! I'm still waiting to cross off the 70, over a year and hundreds of boxes and not 1 yet. HH, Maverick.

I agree to all I have only found one bicentennial and have Not found a 1970

 

[OtlFrutiger]

Yep, I still need to find a '70 too! That's a real toughy, and next on the ol' bucket list!

I knocked that one off my list a few weeks ago, I found a 1970d, oddly enough, it broke my 10+ box skunk streak. of course every box since then have basically been skunks with the exception of 2 40%ers, 1 found in 2 boxes.

Yep, I still need to find a '70 too! That's a real toughy, and next on the ol' bucket list!

It's funny that the 70-S has a higher mintage than the 70-D. Personally I'm still looking for the silver commemorative halves. I hope you find your next ones on your list!! HH
