jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 4:01 pm This coin is raw but looks MS to me. What do you think about the toning? Fair price to pay would be? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19111 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 4:29 pm I would first check sold/completed sale info on ebay for a similar piece--not asking price. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Bud250r Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 5:15 pm That's very nice looking coin. I think it should be graded. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10472 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 6:38 pm Looks like a very nice example! Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6988 Posts	Posted 08/09/2025 11:38 pm I've been looking for years for one without toning, don't know why but it seems like a higher % of these are toned compared to other commemoratives of this era........................Coin looks good to me... If that was a graded coin in 64.....@ 4 to 450....MS65....@ 6 to 8.... that's just me Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 04:53 am What is the provenance on this coin? Do you have it in hand and able to share an accurate weight? There are a lot of counterfeits of this coin out there. I'm not convinced this example is genuine. Show us better photos of the upper rim of the gold miners pan and the font on HALF DOLLAR. If you don't have the coin in hand ask the seller to do so. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 08/10/2025 04:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12251 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 10:16 am The coin presented appears to be a fairly nice example, but the images shown leave me with questions. In the images provided, I see multiple areas that are missing expected details and/or are flat. My eyes can't tell me if this is the result of wear, a soft strike or simply an artifact of the lighting used for the image. Also, I see some chatter in the fields. As a result, I would grade the piece - if genuine - as a high AU (i.e., AU-55 / AU-58) or low- to mid-MS (i.e., MS-61 / MS-62). Check online auction sites for "sold" prices of such-graded coins. In any case, I would not pay a premium price for the coin as I don't see it as a premium example. Just my opinion, of course, your mileage may vary. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21583 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 11:13 am I would pass on it, too many minor discrepancies. Either that or have seller certify it first. This whole series of commemorative halves have counterfeited. Edited by JimmyD 08/10/2025 11:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 12:39 pm Thanks for the help evaluating the coin. Liked the design of the coin but am not all that familiar with grading one. Decided to pass on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5601 Posts	Posted 08/10/2025 12:54 pm Hello and Thanks for sharing this Beautiful Commemorative 1925- S California Jubilee Half coin. Commems Stated: Quote : " In the images provided, I see multiple areas that are missing expected details and/or are flat. My eyes can't tell me if this is the result of wear, a soft strike or simply an artifact of the lighting used for the image. Also, I see some chatter in the fields. " We See Alike, Well Stated. Commems Also Stated : Quote : " As a result, I would grade the piece - if genuine - as a high AU (i.e., AU-55 / AU-58) or low- to mid-MS (i.e., MS-61 / MS-62). " While the coin shown does exhibit " chatter ", Which is Difficult judging from a photo, Mint State is Hard to judge Without the Coin in Hand. @ Commems, I Could see a Mint State 62, If coin is Not Wear after in hand inspection. Commemorative coins that date back from 1925, Will Be Toning @ some point in time ...... Report this Post to the Staff
