malee2 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 03:49 am I was wondering if anyone can take a look at the word HALF DOLLAR (Most visible in letters F&D). I'm having trouble telling whether it is a double machining error or double die. This is the same case with the leaves of the branch on the reverse side. P.S. I'm new to coin collecting I'm helping my uncle with submitting coins for NGC grading as he doesn't speak much english and I don't have much knowledge about coins in general and how to tell what coins are worth more than others. Where can I get started? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

You came to the right place to learn. This site has a lot to give, use the search tab here. Buy a Red Book, you can learn a lot of things there. Don't rely on u tube for anything. Same with facebook. Who knows, after learning more you might become a collector. Report this Post to the Staff
