And the half was silver, much nicer than the clad cupronickel crap we have now. When you dropped one it rang like a bell, the new stuff makes a dull thud. Many of the old coins were quite beautiful, I used to collect/invest in rare coins before the debacle of 1980........... OOPS, another clue to my true age????!!!!!!...............................
