HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25215 Posts	Posted 06/24/2023 6:13 pm My 1938-D Daniel Boon Bicentennial Commemorative Half Dollar arrived today. It was in a SEGS slab, graded MS-66. Quite a pain to liberate! The discoloration is nowhere near as prominent as suggested by the seller's pics. These are the best I could do with my I-Phone. Debating sending it in to PCGS - suggestions? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

If you do send this one in, I would suggest that you not expect an MS-66 grade from PCGS. My eyes see contact marks on Boone's cheek/jaw line and the darker areas on the face and hair (behind the ear) are still a concern to me. How is the coin's luster in hand?

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 06/25/2023 04:43 am I suggest the SEGS grade was a bit optimistic. It could be your photograph, but I see signs of wear on Boone's jaw, cheek and hair behind the ear. You have the coin in hand - tilt it in a good light and tell us if the luster is continuous in those locations. Pending additional input on luster I'm going with AU-58 as a grade you should expect from PCGS. Nice example of a very low mintage coin!
