    About same amount of silver content

    Croc= 1 oz Ag, $1 legal tender, while 3 x 1966 coins 1.02 oz total of $1.50 legal tender.

    while in volume space comparison, the 50 cents will be 3 times more space. :/

    Crocs. 1966 50c has zero chance of numismatic appreciation. Crocs I'm speculating on a premium gain. Put my money where my mouth is and took a position in Crocs in the personal stack this week.

    Mind you I'm not buying for the same reasons that would make the round fifty a perfectly legitimate purchase for other people.
