NewbieCoiner808 Valued Member United States 463 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 09:46 am Ok I'll go first....I feel like this is MS66+ but I would like to hear some other opinions bc I'm trying to learn how to grade my coins better. There are a few micro scratches on the obverse and one light, but noticeable scratch on the right side of the reverse. Other than that, it is a well struck coin & the details are all there. It's a stunning coin to the eye Report this Post to the Staff

MJD Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 07/06/2019 11:51 am It's hard to draw a good conclusion from those pictures, but I see a lot of bag marks. In Rick Tomaska's "Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy half dollars," he notes most examples of the 76-D are "quite baggy." He explains the 76-D is better struck than the 76-P, but states any examples above MS-66 are extremely scarce. Report this Post to the Staff
