hi there fellow magicians so i have a question that hopefully someone will have an answer to. i must of misplaced my 50 cent coins when i was moving i searched every were and cant find them so i was wondering if anyone knows were you can go and get 50 cent coins. just normal ordinary ones non gimmicked. I dont have the first clue of were to go for them. I was thinking maybe the bank??? i just dont know. and if i can get them at the bank you think they would charge me 50 cents or more?? hopefully someone can help me out thank you.

Banks will not have these as a regular item but you can take some time a visit a few to see if they happen to have any in their drawer that day. They will not charge you any extra for them.

Craigslist can be a good source as well as coin shows and coin shops. With these you will likely pay a premium especially if you want the silver ones, pre-1965. Halves minted from 1965-1970 are considered 40% silver.

There are online coin retailers and ads on eBay but there will be extra $ required for shipping.

Most "national" bank chains keep these in rolls......50 cents each coin....no extra charge for typical Kennedy halves......same w/ Ike dollars....

Just search ebay or Amazon or any site of the sort.

I don't know if you have one near you, but I have a coin shop next to my house. they have half dollars for fifty cents.....they also have nicer ones for way more...but I thinkmost coin shops will have what you are looking for.

i also get mine at a coin shop i have some gimiced ones and at a coin shop i can get non-gimiced coins to match the gimiced ones

I went to my local bank and asked for five bucks worth no problems.
