Ask is what sellers were asking on active eBay listings of certified coins, fixed-price only — not what a coin sold for, and not our valuation. With enough listings at a grade, it's the middle 50% of their asking prices; with only a few, each asking price is shown. A single listing is shown only when its seller has an established eBay account with strong feedback. Sample is the number of listings behind each figure. Grades shown without a designation are plain examples.

History
The 1976-S business strike is the 40% SILVER uncirculated Bicentennial half; NGC lists it as "1776-1976 S SILVER 50C MS" with a mintage of 11,000,000. It is a genuine business strike, not a proof-only issue — San Francisco struck the silver uncirculated alongside the clad and silver proofs that year.
