FraserFan New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:24 pm I am new to the community and interested in starting a collection of commemorative half dollars. It seems there are a lot of fake commemoratives floating around. What are some good techniques for spotting these? Perhaps this has been discussed in detail in a previous post.

Perhaps the most important aid is to compare a prospective purchase with a good photo of a certified example, looking for crude and weak detail discrepancies. Report this Post to the Staff
