I got this from my grandpa around 2 years ago when I got it I didnt think much of it.
A few months ago I rediscovered it in my collection, so I decided to try and reconstruct the date using different cleaning products/methods.
As you expected none of it worked so if you guys have ANY idea of how I can find this date pleas let me know.
They were handing these half dollars out at the National Archives yesterday. Just wondering if they’re in circulation yet, how many were minted, when they’ll be released (if not yet)?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
They had some cool stuff, just bought a barber half as a souvenir.
they’re also just pretty neat so i think someone would enjoy the find anyhow but would love to know if they’re worth anything. mom is holding out hope for them to be but tbh i doubt it but pls lmk because idk anything about coins and stuff!!! decent lot :) also if they do have a worth and anyone is interested or just interested in them period dm!!
Are either of these proofs?
I want to be clear, I have zero intention of selling anything, I’m more so interested in authenticity and insuring if needed. If they are worth anything I’d probably get a dedicated safe to keep them since I can’t get a box at either my banks because I don’t have any USAA or Navy Federal branches local. He has a bunch of coins I have to go through yet. I bought some round holders and pads, but I’ve never seen most of these and have minimal knowledge on anything. It was a hobby of mine for just collecting interesting pieces, but apparently he did the same over his lifetime.
I appreciate any guidance offered.
Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I just ordered a modern business strike coin from a eBay dealer. It’s a very high grade 2026 coin.
I noticed in their stock photo, which looks like a photograph, that the serial number on the slab doesn’t come up on the grading company database.
Then I looked through their other auctions and noticed the same serial number on a similar coin one grade lower.
On the one hand, I know and understand that high volume dealers might photoshop a listing or use a stock photo…but where would they get it?. On the other hand, why not use a photo of a real slabbed coin? I understand that it’s possible that the dealer doesn’t have it in hand, but will have it soon from the grading company.
The coin is a great deal on a grade rarity. Trying to decide whether to wait to see what gets mailed to me or cancel out of paranoia.
Got given this, does anyone know much about it. Really thick and heavy for a coin
Hi. New coin collector here. Had a great aunt and uncle who passed a few years ago and passed a coin collection down to my parents who then passed on to my kids in their teens. We are just starting to look through and sort it and figure out what we have as a family project. It seems like there are some pretty nice coins in the collection. We are not planning on selling anything but just interested in what there is. These seem to be the ones worth the most and we wondered if any are in good enough condition that we should get them graded. Thanks.

Reposting with pics…
So I started collecting when I was a teenager and later put my collection aside. After my Grandma died a few years ago I inherited my Grandfather’s collection (Roman and USA), who died when I was four.
The Roman doesn’t interest me too much but the USA has augmented my collection, closed off some sets I was working on gave me a few new ones to work on, too.
But one issue has come up: 80 Roosevelt dimes dated 1946-1964, 101 Washington quarters dated 1934-1936, and 42 1964 Kennedy halves. I’ve pulled out the prettiest of the bunch and put them in flips, but have always been reluctant break up his collection by selling anything. That said, the a lot of the halves are likely AU and could have numismatic value above their melt weight, which has increased significantly since I first shelved the collection.
What does the community recommend? Sell in bulk or small lots (I don’t have the time for selling them individually), or retain (though I’ll keep the prettier ones regardless.
Hey guys, any guess as to the origins of the straight scratch on both the obverse and reverse of this capped bust half?
Can anyone tell me whats going on with this coin? Thank you
