NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 1:58 pm I've found a few modern commemorative half dollars while CRH, but this is something I never expected to find! It was the only silver coin in a box of Loomis-rolled half dollars that I purchased today. Pre-1955 commemorative half dollars were not issued for general circulation -- so perhaps the previous owner of this coin did not recognize its value. Have other CRHs found "old" silver commemorative coins while pursuing this hobby? Report this Post to the Staff

Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 188 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 7:33 pm Nice find in any case! Been a few years since I did much CRH in the US, but I feel like I might have found one commemorative about 20-25 years ago. My best haul ever was in several rolls I got from one bank. There were a couple of walkers, a few Franklin's and about ten Kennedys in two or three rolls. Couldn't believe my eyes when they slid out of the paper. Do not read this sentence.
