trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 12/06/2025 11:49 am I got these 2 CSA half dollars from a local estate sale. They were in a frame displaying obverse and reverse next to a printed paragraph about the 4 originals and the restrikes. I knew they were fakes but they were decently struck. When I took them out of the frame I saw that the rims were plain and stamped sterling. I've looked online and have seen plenty of fakes but couldn't find any edge stamped sterling. They remind me of some Franklin Mint issues. Does anyone have any idea who might have made these? Report this Post to the Staff

All Forums Category: General Numismatic Discussion Forums Identification: Unidentified Coins, Medals, and Tokens Folks here seem to find nearly everything. If they are Sterling...I'd be tempted to dip them...but then again...I'm not a toner guy. Cool pick up! Good luck! smat Report this Post to the Staff

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 12/08/2025 5:45 pm They're from 1947. C. Smith made a handful of others for so-called half dollars that year. Edited by DoctorBurnzy 12/08/2025 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
