jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 9:22 pm Holder lettering doesn't seem correct, particularly the straight line between 203 and 002 when it should be a squiggle. Reverse looks more like XF than MS. What do you think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/275131893868 Edited by jimbucks 02/27/2022 9:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 9:46 pm I think it is genuine. Verification number checks out and the lettering looks right. I could see this as an unattractive 63. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 11:45 pm The NGC holder was used from 2001 till 2008. Here is a NGC holder to compare. The coin and holder appear to be genuine and the reverse does appear low for grade. Edited by Slider23 02/27/2022 11:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
