1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 5:28 pm Looks like a casino coin. Casinos were for years the biggest users of half dollar coins. The coins took many thousands of hits. When voucher machines came into vogue half dollars had little use. Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 6:41 pm Quote: On the bottom right edge, under the date, it's very small compared to the opposite edge Well if that area wasn't worn from circulation then possibly it could have been minted that way - a slightly Misaligned Die (MAD) strike. EDIT: And technically that would be the "RIM" - the "EDGE" would be where the reeds are. Edited by Rothery 05/26/2021 6:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34444 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 9:17 pm I agree that this looks like a minor MAD.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 9:32 pm Weight would tell more. If it is under weight, then it was acid dipped. If it is normal weight, it may have been heated. I'm thinking it is probably light? Report this Post to the Staff
