Hollywood.......

Your "Topic Heading" says.....found a 2001 Silver Eagle........
Then you say that it's a 2001 Silver Kennedy ?

I'm assuming that you meant Kennedy in the heading......regardless ...Congrats on the find !! WOW!!.....post a pic of it !!
That'd seem pretty rare that somebody would have broken a set of Silver Proofs and spent them......but espicially the Silver Kennedy half !! That's quite the find there my friend !

It is very possible a silver proof was broken out of a set and eventually spent, but I have a hard time seeing any proof Kennedy half-dollar circulating long enough to get down to AU-50, since we all know how well half-dollars circulate!

But I suppose it is possible. Nice find!

Did you weigh it to know for certain it is silver? BTW a worn proof coin cannot be an AU, it is still a proof and AU is a business strike grade so the proper designation would be PR50(or PF50).

Still a "keeper" whether it's a Silver Proof or a regular Proof !......good find !.........PR62 (?)..or PR60 (?).....that'd be fine, either one !.....if it's anywhere in that range !..
Now you need to get a Kennedy Album and start putting together a set !...
