This one jumped into my pocket at the flea market Saturday. I don't know (or care) if it's been cleaned, I just liked the flat field eye appeal...even with the tiny 11 o'clock rim ding.

Ready for the Semiquincentennial?

2026 is just around the corner

Was there ever a time when 50 cents was NOT half a dollar? Why is the "OR" necessary?

I'm guessing there were some clueless people out there who had to be told everything VERY SPECIFICALLY even 198 years ago...
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).
NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

That makes sense.

Your half dollar is Overton variety 116. Some neat die cracks on both the obverse & reverse. Nice coin!
