"Is the 'Nation of Immigrants' coin legal tender? I have never seen one before."

It's a clad commemorative half dollar from the US Mint, the companion to the 1986 Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island silver dollar.

So you could spend it, but it has more collector value than 50¢.

Picked these up yesterday at 2 different banks. Teller in bank one says I have some really shiny halves do you want them. I said YES they are always proofs when that happens.

Thanks gents! Cabo - nice proof find!

One of my pickups this week forgot to order 2 boxes of halves and 2 nickels this week due to the holiday. Not a problem at all and the teller was so nice that she offered to double my order for next week. With any luck next week will be starting off with 4 boxes of halves and 4 boxes of nickels! Hopefully , I'll get some silver.

Happy hunting!

Pauldog Yes one could spend it, yes more valuable as a collector Piece, I did 4 more boxes on Friday all skunks. Seems to be a more common thing these days. Silver Eagle, Cabo Nice score. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
