I decided to pick up a few Benjamin Franklin Half Dollars last time I was at the coin shop because I realized I only had 1 of them! I tend to collect the Walking Liberty Half Dollars more than the Benny's. I think I just like the design more. Anyway I figured I should at least have more than 1 of these so here's what I ended up with.
One of them has a really dark patina on it and that one in particular seems to be pretty well preserved compared to the others. Interesting... 🤔
Anyway, have a look at this little stack of Benjamins.

If you don't know how big a half dollar is, perhaps you know how big a US nickel is? Here is one next to the other...

I'm wondering how I could have missed this Post until now...
If that's a 1949-S, you better hold on tight to that one... It will
be worth at least 85 U.S. Crypto-Cents, after the Monetary Reset...
I used to look through rolls of Benjamin Half's, Searching for
Walking Liberty Half's... Next will be any and all Clad Half's...
IN GOD WE "TRUST" THE PLAN...

Hi @pocketechange thanks for stopping by! Yes that is a 1949-S that has that unique patina on it. I'm not sure what caused that but it seems like it's been well preserved and cared for. Cheers!

Just so you know... 85 U.S. Crypto-Cents will be about the same as 85 Federal Reserve Note Dollars, after the U.S. Monetary Reset...
