Any grade guesses? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Half-Dollar...em53ec9cb776 Now for my dilemma...I've wanted one of these for quite some time for my 7070, but between the history and being a Berkeley grad, I can't quite see cracking this one out.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12393 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 6:58 pm Nice pick up! Bay-Bridge half-dollars in these holders are not very common. As such, I wouldn't remove it from the holder. It will always have collector appeal while in the special packaging. It's always tough to grade from internet images... From what I saw, however, the coin appears to have mint state details, but it may also have a little rub that would make it an AU. I would say it would fall in the AU-55 to MS-62 range if graded by PCGS or NGC. See my previous post on this coin for additional information about the coin and holder: https://goccf.com/t/115776 Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 7:50 pm Thanks, Commems. I actually remembered and read your post in the seconds before ordering. Even if it's AU-55, with it being in that holder and $90, I'm thrilled. I can't recall seeing any in those holders go for below $200. Now I have to pick something else for my 7070. 2 commem holes to go with one reserved for an Oregon Trail. Report this Post to the Staff

I personally would keep it as is ... and find another Bay Bridge for your set. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
