Ric24 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/02/2024 10:04 pm I'm new to coin collecting and noted that some 1972 half dollars were missing the artists initials (FG) on the back. I see the G but not the F. Is this an error and does it increase the value of the coin? Also, any hints on producing better pics? I'm using and iPhone 14pro for pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/02/2024 10:24 pm I believe I still see a trace of the "F". There is a known error with absolutely no FG at all. It is caused by an over-polished die. Edited by Tacc 02/02/2024 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

As to better pics,you can buy a clip-on magnifier. Here are a few links to help you as well:http://goccf.com/t/422658 http://goccf.com/t/160092 http://goccf.com/t/116512 http://goccf.com/t/243488 John1 Report this Post to the Staff
