GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 8:28 pm I hate to see someone get a lot of looks and not get any replies. I do not have a lot of experience with this coin. It is the last type of half dollar that I need for my 7070, so I guess I should start looking into how to grade it. As a general attempt, If I had to give it a try, I would say it has some wear. On the obverse - wear on the hair below liberty ( I like the die crack). On the reverse - seems to have a little more wear, on the wing tips and maybe the beak, and less luster. Overall it looks like a really nice problem free coin, I have usually grade on the low side, I would say high VF to XF mostly based on the reverse, but that is just my opinion. Some of what I am seeing could just be the pictures or someone that knows more about these coins would know if what I think is wear might just be a weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 8:33 pm I would say it makes CH XF details no problem, but as to whether it has cleaning issues I can't tell. I see a pretty good mark across the jaw. I think a price around VF-20 would be a good deal? Edited by TNG 01/18/2010 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 8:39 pm From what I can tell from the pictures I would grade this coin at Ef-45. The marks under the chin will effect the value a bit. I like the die crack. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

hemisboats Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 01/23/2010 08:35 am I would definitely go with an EF 40 as a lowball grade. It is a very nice coin and die cracks does give it a lot of character!I hope you don't mind but I took your pictures and liked them a bit as it always helps me an evaluation when there are shaded areas. If you like this coin and get it anywhere close to an EF 40 price I would be money down on it. Report this Post to the Staff
hemisboats Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 01/23/2010 08:54 am here is one that was graded at XF 45. I do have a question on yours around the neck area, is that a gouge or something with the die? Report this Post to the Staff
