Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 07:03 am To me, it looks like the die that struck this coin was getting tired. There may be a bit of Machine Doubling in there as well.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/16/2021 11:31 am The halo is caused by progressive indirect design transfer. We see this on cents: Memorial cents: Nickels: Now I guess we can add halves in this group as well. Not a premium for these coins as many are continued to be struck until the die is retired. Just an explanation as to what you are seeing, so you can move on to the next coin. Edited by coop 06/16/2021 11:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
