Scarcity of Silver Half Dollars Hits Tucson Banks
The article notes a shortage of United States silver half dollars in Tucson as banks report no deliveries from the Federal Reserve Bank in El Paso since February. Local banks, including Valley National Bank and The First National Bank of Arizona, describe limited or no arrivals, while Union Bank maintains some supply. House and Senate panels debate silver in coinage, risking further reduction in circulating half dollars.
