mrludecrs New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/07/2007 11:42 pm I'll start by saying that I'm not a coin collector, but inherited jars full of 1940 - 1964 quarters, 1940's half dollars, 1960's half dollars, and 1950's half dollars. I came across this 1954 Franklin half dollar specimen with a "2" stamped into it to the left of the face. First, I'm wondering if this is a genuine "error coin". And second, if it is, what value would it have? Thanks in advance! ps. sorry for the slightly out of focus picture. I do mostly portrait photography and don't have a macro lens.
