Same for the other devices that are missing. They were on the die, now polished off the die, to rescue a die to continue to use it. Report this Post to the Staff
hvacfreak Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 7:54 pm I recently searched through 400 dollars of halves ( first time ever for me , the wife actually brought these home ) . All of the silver was gone of course so I made the best of it and put each one under the digital microscope. If I came across a coin like this is put it in the " maybe " pile ( I can see the very light markings on this photo ) . The " FG " initials should be clear but on the 1970's coins they really weren't that worried about it as far as I can tell. The 1980's coins look a lot cleaner ( from the ones I just looked at ) and I didn't find any " FG " problems after 1979. Report this Post to the Staff
