OR do we have two FG initials varieties for Proof 1971 S Half Dollar? I took some photos from the internet for comparison. Please verify. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 10:00 am Looks like you are comparing an example of a polished die and normal die example? Also always compare with the same years. Sometimes design changes from year to year, sometimes the same for years. So always check exact years to compare. But as I mentioned die polishing removes/alters sub devices. To much polishing can remove these sub devices, and polishing can make them smaller. Fresh ones will be stronger. Also die wear is a consideration of strength. (These are all 1971-S examples) Report this Post to the Staff
