MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 09/28/2022 3:29 pm Soliciting your opinions on this 1838 half dollar. First, does it appear genuine? Second what grade would you give it? I notice a rim dent on the reverse so it would probably detail this coin. Your candid opinions are appreciated. Thank You! https://www.ebay.com/itm/165584585959?

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 12:44 am Certainly genuine. This seller lists many bust halves from Germany. Usually a little pricey than you can find otherwise. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 09/30/2022 8:35 pm What a bunch of garbage on ebay when searching this series. I was hoping to find a straight graded PCGS or NGC coin in about VF-20 to VF-35. Everything I see on the bay is either a details coin or raw and the asking prices far exceed that of a straight graded PCGS example. I'll just have to be patient and wait for the right deal. I refuse to pay more than the retail value for a damaged or details coin. Report this Post to the Staff
