I own a icecream truck and get kids bringing me coins from there parents collection or in cups or draws mom and dad set aside.
I got a few worn Walking halves about 6 months ago.

I told the kid is it ok to spend them , the kid ran inside and the mom came back and said " yea its o.k to spend um I called a coin shop he offered 4$ a piece for um but I gotta drive across town and spend 10 dollars in gas "
I said yea does not make sense does it , in my coin try they went and off went a fat faced kid with a icecreamcookie

That is a really cool find. Did you post it in the JFK Half Dollar Roll Hunters topic?

I can understand people spending them too
there are 2 sides to non collectors views on coins
1) its old so it has to be worth a fortune
2) it's just a coin and unless you find someone who wants to buy it, its worth face

people don't realize how easy it would be to ind a buyer
good for us though!
