so called half dollars

[rons]

Where can I find some information about so called half dollars? Any information is appreciated. Thanks

They are mostly made of silver medallions issued by the Heraldic Art Co. I'm not aware of any other metal, but it may be possible
Most are common, but a few are rare.
They get the name so called half dollars for the obvious reason they are the size of a half dollar.
There is a book coming, but as of yet I haven't heard that its out yet.

I used to have a set but sold it and I don't have the images any longer.
Here is some that sold at Heritage Auctions a few years back  http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=427&Lot_No=82388


I did keep one though

Thanks for the information. I picked these up at auction and wondered how many more were out there. Housed in a Wayte Raymond page I thought they were very cool.

That's the one I used to have, they are really neat.
As far as how many are out there, I am not sure, I don't think they are rare......but keep them in the
Wayte Raymond holder!

People like them better that way and pay a premium.
I think when I sold mine 2 years ago I sold it for around $200


Nice pick up
