Any help would be most appreciated, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19111 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 08:08 am I'm thinking it's worth 50 cents. Given the photos above, I'm seeing post strike damage--quite possibly heat related, with reaction to environmental agents the coin may have been exposed to. Might be a blunt force caused bump in there too. Could we get larger, sharp images of the while obverse and reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

It's a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
