Rare Coins And Bills In Circulation


How Often Do You Really Come Across A Rare And Exciting Piece Of Material?

Not Often Right!

I know! so owning one or two or even a collection of these items would be a great accomplishment.


The 1971 Denver minted Half Dollar was the most widely circulated of the 71 Half Dollars. This was the first year that the US Mint issued Kennedy Half Dollars in a non-silver state.
Anything after 1970 contains no silver. These coins are a copper-nickel composition, being a nickel jacket over a copper core. Look for the DDO (double die obverse error) on the 1971 D version.

The coin’s specific gravity is 9.5, close to the standard 9.53 for silver-copper clad, with a weight of 11.44 grams, within tolerance of the U.S. Mint standard 11.5-gram planchet.
Specific gravity for copper-nickel clad is 8.92 and a coin’s weight is 11.34 grams.
When introduced into circulation in 1964, the Kennedy half dollar’s alloy was 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper. From 1965 through 1970, a silver-copper clad composition was used. In 1970, 40 percent silver/silver-copper clad planchets were used for the production of Proof half dollars at the San Francisco Mint and Uncirculated Mint set coins at the Denver Mint. No half dollars were struck for circulation.
The silver-copper clad composition was discontinued in 1971 in favor of the copper-nickel clad composition but returned for the collector versions of 1776–1976 Kennedy, Bicentennial half dollars.

So there's lots of Buzz about it, the value significantly increased over the years one man even auctioned one for US6000 .


This particular one is going for half the price though at an estimated US3000, Interested parties can contact me for more information.

And that's not all also with this rare Denver mint coin you can also purchase this rare US $2 bill thats worth thousands for the USD$3000 if your purchase with the coin and USD$4000 if purchased alone.



The rare $2 dollar has been in circulation for some time and there are those who actually hold on to it for dear life as parting ways seem a bit hard.


History
On 25 June 1776, the Continental Congress authorized the issue of two-dollar bills of credit for the defense of the America. Only 49,000 bills were issued at that time. The two-dollar bill was first commissioned in March 1862. The two-dollar denomination was discontinued from 1966 until 1976 when use of the two-dollar bill was resumed as part of the United States bicentennial celebration. The two-dollar bill was last issued in 2003.

How Rare is the $2 Dollar Bill?
Low printing numbers starting in the 1950s resulted in the $2 dollar bill becoming the rarest current denomination of US Currency.  This rarity caused people to hoard any $2 bills they come across and as a result, this decreased the circulation of the $2 dollar bill even more. Today the $2 dollar bill constitutes around 1% of all notes in US circulation.



So if you are one of the many who would like to hoard this 1976 $2 bill contact me for more details.
