2000 Half Pound of Fine Silver Round

Raci

Does anyone know what a 2000 "Half Pound of Fine Silver Round" is? The obverse has an eagle with a shield and a row of 5 stars, over four, over 3, over 1. The front has the words "United States of America" and "Half Troy Pound Fine Silver" with a figure that looks like the one on Walking Liberty coins. Any ideas?

Sorry, could you tell me what spot means? Is it worth $70 or more, do you think?

Spot means that it's only value is in the silver bullion it's made of. Silver "spot" price is currently at $12.52 per ounce and I believe there are 6 troy ounces in a troy half pound? If that's true then the spot price of your piece would be $75.12

Thank you so much, Cladiator. Very helpful.

I've got two of these, gold plated, Franklin Mint. I'd offer to sell it to you, but my Mom gave it to me, so thats a no go

I believe 10 troy ounces to the pound. Could be wrong though. So half is 5 ounces of silver

mine is from 1994 and says one half pound ( not troy) and is styled after the Saint Gaudens (gold plated)

You are wrong. There are 12 Troy ounces in a Troy pound.

"pounds (troy): An apothecary weight equal to 12 ounces or 373.242 grams"
