    I have a 1968 Kennedy half dollar, which sits pride of place in the see-through ID part of my wallet.

    maybe thats what i had too;
    i was too young to know the difference between a dollar and a half dollar at the time;
    as far as i was concerned it was silvery and shiny and, most importantly, big so i must have thought i was rich;

    Yeah, I think there was only the half-dollar... I have one somewhere, probably in the 'big box of stuff' under my old bed in my folks house, along with my stamp collection, Smiths tapes, and collection of belt buckles.

    and, by any chance, a 'bay city rollers' scarf?

    Fu*k no! My bad taste had it's limits... except when it came to hair cuts. Remember the short back and sides with an 8 inch fringe? That was me, that was.

    Bagel. If you coin was 1964 it is worth maybe 5 dollars. 1965 on would allow you to buy a bagel. For about 16 dollars you can buy a silver dollar from the 1890's in good condition like they have in the westerns. A wise investment these days.

    Even commodity-wise, it's a good investment. Do you remember when a US penny was worth more intrinsically than extrinsically, ie the penny when melted down was worth 1.14 cent at copper's peak?
