Enyaw Valued Member Canada 458 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 10:24 am My Grandfather left me a glass jar of mostly Canadian half dollars but there were also a few American half dollars in it as well. From what I could find online this coin has the lowest mintage of the bunch. I don't have experience with American coins so I would appreciate any thoughts on grade, value etc. that the community would be willing to share. I had already put it in a 2x2 flip so the photos are of the coin in the 2x2. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 11:17 am I'm not convinced that coin started out with a mint mark, there appears to be a lot going on in that area. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 11:53 am I see a lot of them on Heritage where the mint mark appears to be in a depression, and in G4 many that look just like this one. Example below. Therefore I don't have concerns that it's altered. It looks slightly better than G4 but not sure if it makes G6. If G5 was a grade I'd say that. Value $80-120?

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 09:18 am Agree with a grade of G4. Looks genuine to my eye. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
