DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 9:52 pm Hmmm. I'll let the those with more knowledge add an expert opinion but just off the cuff, it should have a reeded edge. The Obverse bottom should be showing it - I don't see it. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 12:00 am I'd say AU-53, but not much luster and somewhat odd toning. The variety is GR-18 with characteristic die cracks and clashes. The weak reverse rim is from the late die state in this variety. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 10:20 am AU-53 was my first thought. Appears to be a little bright in appearance, hopefully there are no underlying problems. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/12/2024 12:31 pm This is closer to AU55-AU58 sharpness IMO, variety GR-18 (R1) but I net it down to AU50 due to minor concerns about the surface originality and the apparent lack of luster in most places. Still a valuable and desirable coin! Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
