Description

1977-D Half Dollar, MS62
Struck on a 40% Silver Planchet
Rare Transitional Alloy Error

1977-D 50C -- Struck on a 40% Silver Planchet -- MS62 PCGS. 177 gn. The 40% silver alloy, a holdover from the 1965 debasement, was supposed to have been struck for the final time on the 1976-S Bicentennial half dollar and Ike dollar. Murphy's Law ensured that a very small quantity of misplaced or leftover 40% silver planchets ended up between dies for the next year's coinage. Lustrous, lightly toned, sharply struck, and well preserved.
