Vinitel89 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 7:47 pm Wigging out. I was going through some half dollar rolls and I out aside every 71 and 77 I found just to weigh them. I know the 71 D and 77 D have been found but I've never seen a P before! Here are two photos showing 2 of the 77's I found. One weighing within the silver planchet range! It's not the prettiest but I just want to know if you guys think I should get it graded? Edited by Vinitel89 11/18/2021 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 04:52 am I wouldn't get too excited just yet, that weight is well within tolerance for a normal copper nickel clad coin. Report this Post to the Staff

More diagnostics needed before submitting to a third-party grading service. Remember, plating material would add a small amount of weight. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 10:43 am The 'P' mintmark on most of the coins didn't start until 1980 on the half dollars. There were 'P' mintmarks on the Part silver war time nickels on the 1942-1945 nickels on the reverses: But the rest of the denominations (except cents) had the 'P' mintmark going forward. On the 2017-P that is the only year that cents have a 'P' mintmark on them. That was the only year the cents had a 'P' mintmark. So your coin is not showing a 'P' mintmark on the 1977 half dollar that was struck at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
