I like to hunt my daughter's elementary school built on old farm house's back yard where house is still owned & lived in ( early 1900's ) Found a wheatie nearby ( 1957 D. I have never seen a Canadian Half before.....have you? Rich patina on head bust and very ornate markings on reverse.

Never seen one either. It's in VERY nice shape! A lot of Canadian coins have been found (on this board) in MI lately...
I think they may be PLANNING something...... :-)

Research says it's 80% silver.

Congrats! I'd love to dig a big Canadian half! Never seen one dug before. I've dug a dozen old Canadians including an 1871 Victoria quarter, but no halves - still on my list.

Your really hitting on the Canadian coins man - Whats up with that? First 3 Loonies and 3 toonies in one day and now a half? Did you buy your Fisher in Canada-that must be it. JK, excellent finds halves can be hard to come by nowdays. WTG

I remember as a kid Canadian coins were accepted at the bank with no questions asked. When the canadian dollar sank well below the US in value in the 70s I think it was the banks stopped accpeting them. Before then if you lived near Canada then Candian coins were common in change in the states. Must say I have seen few Canadian half dollars and a silver one is a great find.
