Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 11:28 pm Hello again--I have looked at many examples of these online--in some MS examples I see what appears to be incomplete hairlines. I have tried to capture the highest part of the relief as best as I can. I love the colors on mine, and currently have it in my type collection of US Half Dollars. I am hoping it is MS(63) or higher, but I understand it might be AU(55)--I just hope to know the difference better on these coins! Edited by Adam590 07/20/2020 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 07/20/2020 12:34 pm Here are some more photos with more focus. Do these photos help? Some of the ones in MS slabs I see online also seem to have incomplete hair lines? Where is the wear? Report this Post to the Staff
