Not only is that not a San Francisco "S" mark, that coin isn't even 40% silver. It's just a banged up 1976-D Kennedy half.

Here's the "1776-1976S 40% SILVER gem BU bicentennial Kennedy half dollar. UNC 1/2$" from the listing Brandmeister found. It's been removed, along with the "gold" "rare" Sacagawea dollar listing mrwhiskers mentioned.

mrwiskers, if ebay charged 1% of starting price to place a listing, garbage like that would not be there

...yup...but, I imagine ebay's overall sales volume has increased as a result of $0.00 listing fees ... doubt they care much about all the junk one has to wade through looking for something decent ...

...I contact them if I see outright fraud, but the fraud being so rampant, doubt it has much impact ...

...This is a protest against PCGS practice of grading damaged, circulated coins as Mint State ... how they can arbitrarily & incorrectly grade a coin in this state as "MS" is beyond me ...

...nothing screams CIRCULATED to me as a chopmark/chopmarks...

...regardless how one feels about chopmarks ( I love 'em, I collect 'em) ... technically, it is damage to the original coin, regardless of the intent or significance ...

...The seller is a good, honest dealer, & this is no slam against him ... the neg. feedbacks he has are (in my opinion) undeserved & not legitimate ... I'd buy from him in a heartbeat, should I so choose ...

...Mint State? Really? ... ...PCGS: change your ways ...
