Half a dollar right - 50 cents - or, “a half,” for short - no big deal you might think, but the United States Mint half dollar has one of the greatest stories of all American coinage.
“Coins for sale,” says the notice. It looks so inviting - so innocent - what’s the harm in looking? Anyone who collects coins has their own favorite sources and places to add to their collection
No doubt about it – there is nothing more thrilling than finding something out about the coin you just bought that you didn’t know - taking your Morgan dollar value higher than you thought.
