Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 1:50 pm Tough coin! Would love to claim my Hoard of '82s had the quarter and half, but alas... Report this Post to the Staff
denkan Valued Member Sweden 146 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 1:54 pm The reverse looks great! I'm really not the right person to put a grade on this serie but I'd say AU58. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 2:51 pm I'll say impaired proof PR-58. Report this Post to the Staff
Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 3:06 pm To me the obverse looks like it had an old cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7626 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 3:25 pm Lightly circulated proof. You can't beat the 1879 to 1891 half dollars for a challenging set to put together....especially the circulation strikes! Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 3:29 pm I agree that the front looks cleaned, but the reverse is beautiful. I'd give it a 58 also. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 3:37 pm I'd say PF58 as well, old cleaning, good looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 1:19 pm I'd guess AU55 with a light cleaning. I'm not seeing a proof but apparently others do. Here's a PR55 for comparison. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3662 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 10:13 pm It's an impaired proof. The die marriage looks to be WB-102, with the stray "88" in denticles. IIRC, that die variety is believed to be proof only. PR-58, with a market acceptable older cleaning. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff

It is a WB-102. Report this Post to the Staff
