raybutler Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 07/01/2013 6:31 pm I recently acquired this SL half dollar, has a couple of nicks and scratches on the obverse but appears to be original surfaces. I paid $44, hope that I did O.K. on it. What grade would you assign it? Edited by raybutler 07/01/2013 6:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 07/01/2013 8:40 pm VF details. $40 maybe top end. I like to pay about 25% retail for detail grade unless its a rare piece; I need it or really like it. If you like it then you didn't do too bad Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 12:45 am The fields look a little strange to me, but I still think it's geniune. Should be weighed to confirm. Some of the high points are starting to wear flat. F15. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 01:58 am VF20 details surfaces corroded and scratched. For future reference Ray, keep in mind a damaged coin, especially one that has extensive damage to the design and into the fields should only bring 50% at most of FMV. I occasionally buy a damaged coin, and if so I never pay anywhere near 50% even. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
