sharonkkonen New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 5:39 pm I have a 1952 D ben Franklin half dollar. There is a cresent type cut out in front of his face and on the reverse the cresent goes directly through the eagle. I don't have the best of cameras so don't think the reverse will be very clear. Is this worth anything extra besides the silver value? And now I'm sorry but it won't let me upload a pic. Has anyone heard of such a coin?WHY WON'T IT LET ME POST A PICTURE?MY son was able to put some pics on for me, he's a computer wizard, thanks Boog!

Also, check to see if your camera has a macro (looks like a flower) setting. This lets you take closeup pics. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/08/2011 5:11 pm It might be part of a deep clash from the reverse. There is a device on the opposite side of the reverse die that could form that? Edited by coop 10/08/2011 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
