Teller tray yields silver and then a 2026 coin

[CJ9]

On 5/20 I went into a BofA near my home and asked for the usual coins - nickels, dimes, and halves. Teller says he has $1.50 in halves and I hear silver. Turned out 2 of 3 were 1964s.

Today I went into a citibank and asked for coins and I see 3 halves in the teller's coin tray. I could see that they weren't silver but they looked new so I asked to buy them anyway. One was the new 2026 half. If its going to be anything like 1976 we are probably going to see a lot more of these (and like the bicentennials, in 50 years from now they will still be worth 50 cents). Looks better than the quarter design IMO.

Thanks for looking

Anyone else notice the design of this coin makes the nose of lady liberty look like its growing like Pinocchio?
Congratulations on the two 1964's. Very nice!

Thanks. Yeah I can see that with the nose and also, frankly, I have not been impressed so far with the 2026 coinage. I got the second quarter yesterday (the george Washington one) and Washington's image is the same as on the presidential dollar from 2007.
