I just did a search and saw an image of one - obviously a novelty piece.

I didn't need to do the search, however, to know that no such coin would ever be struck by the US Mint - only third-parties looking to make a quick buck on a very unfortunate and serious health issue would alter an actual US coin to create such a piece.

I would never consider purchasing one!

to the CCF!

I've seen some interesting coins that had COVID-19 counterstamps and colorized lettering that one person was doing during the lockdown. I don't think the US Mint would ever design a COVID coin, but I'm sure some private mint is working on something as we speak.

The coins I've seen were really well done and I wouldn't mind having a few copies, but it's not something I would pay for.

While it's not a US half dollar, here's one that looks kind of like a combo coin/pizza muffin. The virus image on the reverse in piled high like cheese!

Reasonable minds can differ on the seriousness of the virus.
