RyanA New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 6:01 pm Picked up my first box of half dollars to search for silver (and other rares), didn't even find one. Near the end I found this half dollar with a bubble in it, both sides. It extends from the "L" in "LIBERTY" to the edge of the mouth on the heads side and from "UNIT" in "UNITED" to the mouth of the eagle on the tails side. Discussion on what this is and value would be greatly appreciated (actually any info would be super). Thanks in advance! Edit: It bubbles outwards on both sides. Oh, and this is my first post, so hi everyone! Edited by RyanA 11/02/2013 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
