Somehow this coin looks fake to me. The hat on the obverse doesn't look right, the font seems different.

Why does it cost $20 to ship a half dollar domestically. That's crazy shipping fees on there.

I don't think it's fake but it sure has been cleaned.

Sorry that's the shipping cost to Canada....typically cost $7/8 for a coin.....maybe the extra is for time to fill the USPS customs declaration form. Typically I will shy away from sellers with high shipping costs.

The seller is a known provider of Chinese counterfeit classic silver commemorative ... concur that the coin looks 'off'.

I would carefully weigh and inspect the coin in hand ... make note as well of the designer initial on the obverse ... hard to tell by the photo but it appears to be proud of the surface?

I'm suspicious of this one.

It looks pitted, almost as if it were a cast.
