Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 02/13/2009 01:20 am Apparently, these commemorative coins did not sell well in 1923, and some were dumped into circulation at face value. I have had the good fortune of having looked through the collections of two California-based gentlemen who appear to have mainly collected from circulation. Each of these collections contained one of these Los Angeles-Monroe Doctrine Centennial Halves in XF condition, much like yours. Imagine finding one of these in your change...

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 02/13/2009 10:14 am The Monroe halves are notorious for weak details, even on uncirculated specimens. I bought one in a 2nd-tier TPG holder graded MS-63 that had less detail than Johnny54321's coin. If this coin has significant remaining luster I'd say it's probably at least an AU-50. They are very interesting coins with a significant historical theme. This one looks above-average for detail. Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
