Congrats! That's certainly an unexpected find - if only the coin could tell how it got in that box of halves!

Outstanding find.  Concur this is a low mintage coin ... certainly relative to Modern commemorative totals - 81,800 of the Long Island Tercentenary Half Dollar were distributed. This is not a difficult coin to obtain today in dealer stock ... but an amazing find in a bank roll at face value. Your coin likely grades XF based upon the photos provided. Congratulations ... enjoy the coin ... hopeful that the history, design beauty and stories behind this series might perhaps inspire some further level of interest from you. David |

Very nice! That would be an awesome coin to find! I just found a Netherlands Antilles coin in my half dollar roll! That is another reason I like half rolls don't know if you could find a commemorative :)

Credit needs to go to the guy who created those links. I am just the messenger, he is the scholar.  |

Wow Bobby. I for one did not ever think to look for that section here. Thank you. I guess I should look more closely at the side bars.  Edited by Dar

Wow! What a great find skibdib! Searching through change, rolls etc. then finding something like that are what I love most about this hobby. Sadly, the RCM's 'Alloy Recovery Program' is killing that side of the hobby in Canada.  |

As a fellow half dollar roll searcher and commemorative collector, I am insanely jealous. That must have been a RUSH!
Congratulations!
