JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:14 pm I have no idea what happened to it, but I think it's cool! (Then again, most of my friends say I have strange tastes... :) ) Report this Post to the Staff

JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 4:50 pm I've been looking around and the best I can come up with is it possibly being a capped die strike. Report this Post to the Staff
yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 5:15 pm this is a worn coin possibly a belt sander but the scratches are not parallel Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 10:55 pm Looks better than some of my slabbed MS-60 Morgan dollars Report this Post to the Staff
JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 12:35 am It's definitely a candidate for a very extreme split grade... Report this Post to the Staff
yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:25 am think a vinegar soak will restore the date? Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 11:28 pm "Lovely silver color with a touch of cameo on the devices. Slightly porous surfaces, but save for some light chatter on the obverse fields and devices no unsightly flaws. Weakly struck on the obverse center. The date is a hair weak and may require a light soak of vinegar to fully uncover. A decent representative of this classic modern american coin" Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 02/05/2011 05:50 am Harsh obverse! Looks like someone took out their aggression on that poor half dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
