Went to my bank today to make a deposit and asked if they had any half dollars, I ended up buying 2 rolls and I think I found a 2011 deep cameo silver kennedy. weights .45 oz. its got a little circulation wear but nearly perfect.  Edited by yuengling101 11/02/2011 8:38 pm

That one didn't take long to get into circulation.

From the photo we cannot determine if it is silver or copper nickle. We would need an edge photo to verify what composition it has.

I know I'm pretty pumped, even though my wife thinks I'm stupid for being so excited about a half dollar.

Well, we're all happy for you and I think it is really cool that you FOUND it.
Now, I know this will be hard to do, but put it in an air-tight round and lock it up so it doesn't get tarnished.
