silver bracelet and half dollars

[tallpaul]

OK here is the silver bracelet i found with pinky kinda beads, and also two half dollar coins hope someone can tell me more about the half dollars, i do know you dont get them in change now, well i never got any, just a new looking full 1 dollar coin goldish colour, are these half dollars special, one is dated 1908 and has a worn eagle on reverse the other is dated 1951 and has a bell on the reverse,, i found the coins almost together at the base of a sand dune at cocoa near a walk on foot bridge.

Nice stuff. The coin with the eagle on the back is a barber half. There not real easy to find. Your's looks to be in g to vg maybe. 06 red book list it for 12 to 14 dollars. The other is a franklin half. A common silver half. Alot easier to come by than a barber. It's worth about 4.50. Condition is everything with coins. If your barber half would have been in ef or vf it would have been worth 75.00 to 150.00. Check to see if there is a mint mark below the eagle's tail. It should have a D or S or just be blank for philadelphia.

Congrats Paul! If I remember correctly Barber coins (dimes, quarters and halves) got the name from the guy who designed them. Great finds!

Thanks for cleaning up our American beaches, Paul. We didn't want any of that old junk anyway.

I love the bracelet and the coins. Congratulations.
