kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/27/2016 08:49 am The initials are "AW" and are standard on all WL halves. There are some 1941 proofs that are missing the initials because the Mint unintentionally polished them off. If you are buying US coins like that I suggest buying a Red Book.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/27/2016 11:07 am Hard to tell a grade without seeing both obverse and reverse. If the obverse is as nice as the reverse, it could be a AU coin. If it had a mint mark it would be on the other side of the coin from the AW. It is a Philadelphia mint coin so no mint mark. I think your seeing what might be a error on the designer initials. It does look a little off .... not sure if it is a known error. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/27/2016 8:45 pm The obverse looks great. Now I am not sure ... Either a slider AU 58 ... or a MS 63/64 Report this Post to the Staff
