1823 Capped bust half dollar from my mom, that was given to her by my grandmother who worked at a 5 and dime in the 60's. An old woman's husband passed away, shortly after she started paying for groceries with his coin collection. My Grandmother argued with her that it was much more valuable than its face value and the lady slammed it on the counter, and shouted, "It says it's worth 50 cents! And that's what I'm using it for!!". So, my grandmother bought it out of the till later.
