Best Answer

The half-crown and crown are obsolete British Coins. Under the old pre-decimal system, one crown was worth five shillings, and the half-crown was worth half that. At twenty shillings to the pound, the crown was 1/4 and the half was 1/8 of a pound. Or, the crown was 60 pence and the half was 30 pence.

What is the crown stamp on half dollar?

No US coin, including the half dollar has a crown stamp on it when it comes from the mint. Instead, if you have a US half dollar with a crown stamp in it, it was done either by a private company or individual. These stamps generally add no value to your coin and it is just worth what a damaged example of whatever year of half dollar you have is worth.
