afornaini Valued Member Italy 91 Posts	Posted 12/08/2011 1:07 pm Good afternoon. I was wondering if this 1913 half dollar can be graded G4 or not. It is heavily polished and worn. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

It's possible to have a MS 65 scratched and so on. There's enough detail left in the crown and enough detail in the robe this is around an 8 , harshly cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 12/08/2011 3:38 pm I got all excited when I saw this thread on the front page of ccf... I was going to talk about my 1913 Half... But this is Canadian currency... so it doesn't fit... ANYWAY... My 13P Barber Half was found on a shipwreck of a ship that burned that was off the coast of Maine. It's so crazy looking. Damaged / Coroded / Freaky Toning... But one of my favorites. Report this Post to the Staff

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 12/08/2011 8:57 pm You know what, if I owned a grading company I would absolutely do that. But enough people here get mad at me just because I have melt buckets that I'm sure I would become the most hated grader since... well just since forever :) Report this Post to the Staff
