cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 7:34 pm I just recently purchased a 2012 silver proof set and I noticed an error with the half dollar. What is everyone's thoughts on this? Is it more valuable in this condition? Should I send the set back for a refund? Should I break it apart and have it graded? I need some advice! Excited and unsure about this one.

cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 8:25 pm Thanks for the response. I Googled a few things before posting and thought it might have been a die gouge. You seem pretty confident about it being a strike through though. Report this Post to the Staff
cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 8:43 pm "thedollarman" you are exactly right. I just noticed a piece that is laying on the coin that has the same shape. Maybe a piece of plastic, hard to tell. I'll try to add a picture of it. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 9:08 pm Now that's cool, perhaps if the actual piece that got in the way it could be in a dual slab with the coin, it doesn't seem to be the exact same shape as the strike through though....

cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 9:14 pm Yeah, maybe not exactly the same. But it looks really close to me. Does anyone else have an opinion? Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 9:34 pm I would be scared of that peice of debris damaging the coin, I would remove the coin and peice of plastic quick and carefully. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 9:42 pm I have no idea how. I'm a little nervous about it too . It cost me 180 and I would hate to ruin something. Report this Post to the Staff

cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 10:46 am I've contacted NGC to see what services they could provide me with. If I do get it graded I would like for another coin to takes its place within the set. Also, I decided to post this on ebay, I'm accepting offers to see if it's easier to just let someone else buy it from me and I could buy a whole replacement set. Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 11:41 am Couldn't you just return it to the seller and say that it's got issues? Were returns accepted in the listing? Report this Post to the Staff
cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 11:54 am I could, I have 14 days, but I'm not sure I want to. Something makes me feel like this coin should have an increased value. Report this Post to the Staff
