jmewrites Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/16/2019 4:55 pm My wife and I purchased a roll of uncirculated half dollars in 1976. I just unrolled the coins and this is one of them. The coin looks to me like it has a circular crack? Possible DDO on "In God" Other damage. Any and all help is appreciated. jmewrites Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/16/2019 5:01 pm Several issues, but none of them are hub doubling. Mostly MD, Die Deterioration and Struck Through Grease issues. Possible PSD damage from a coin wrapper. But nothing worthy of a premium. Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 08/16/2019 5:59 pm It is fairly common for the 1976 to be missing stars and parts of "Independence Hall" I have a small collection of them somewhere. Grease is the cause of most of it. Yours isn't particularly striking, as only 1 star is completely missing. The vary from having 1 device affected to pretty much all of the stars and "Independence Hall" missing. The most I personally have found Is missing all but 6 starts and most of "Independence". They are fun, but I'm fairly sure they don't sell for a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
