My youngest son likes to go detecting with me on rare occasions...but that's not the story here. We went to the grocery store and, as is his habit, he stopped by the Coin Star to see what's in the discharge bin. He comes bopping over to me and my older son and announces that he found a half dollar. I congratulated him and asked to see it. My eyes practically popped out of my head when I saw it, exclaiming "Holy smokes that's a liberty half!" He didn't understand my enthusiasm so I had to explain that it was old and made of silver. He was grinning from ear to ear when he learned it was worth a whole lot more and 50 cents.
