Speedy, excellent information and thanks. However, I have the book but the description is still confusing.

What does "full rim" specifically mean. Am I getting different opinions.
|
Around the coin is the rim.....but you can see that rim on the coin....
Like this coin....
If that rim is worn into the rest of the coin is it not a Full rim.

Also, what are the key differences between pre and post 1921 halves grading standards. How much breast needs to show for a fine grade? Also, for a VF20 grade, does the breast need to be completely outlined?
|
That will come with learning....look at a lot of photos of them graded by NGC and PCGS....that will help...
As the book said...the Breast will be outlined...that means competely.

Is the gown stripe detail the only difference between the pre and post 1921 halves?
|
That is one good place to look....if a coin after 1921 has full gown stripes it might be VF where as if that coin was before 1921 it might be XF....each date and mintmark is graded unlike the one befor...it will all come in time and practice!!!
