    Dude I think that's a pattern coin. If it's the coin I think it is you just scored big time. BIG time.

    The Eisenhower dollar contains no silver but it was a regular circulated coin. There was a special commemorative one issued in a set with a Kennedy half dollar.
    It has a cool factor even if it has no silver factor.

    no round fifty cent coins having been minted for 1967 or 1968, although the 1966 dated 50c were still being made in 1967. A number of 1966 and 1967 dated patterns exist in both the round and dodecagonal format.

    Bummer - that would have been a $50k coin if it was a genuine pattern.
