    It might be my imagination, but Liberty's left hand on your half dollar seems to be wrong-- an enlargement of your picture indicates that her thumb and fingers are pointing up, although they should actually be relatively horizontal, even pointing downward a bit. Could you post another picture of the obverse?

    Almost seems as if the old girl is flipping the the bird? :)

    Calum.....new pics and no scans. Can't get the proper perspective.........

    So it's NOT just my imagination :)

    Dang. Just an observation. Brilliant minds think alike? Perhaps. But I dare say we're letting our 'dark side' get the better of us.....:)

    I think I'd go with an au-58 on the Walker Calum.

    Second look at the Winged Liberty......xf-45/au-50

    Why would anyone fake this common Canadian quarter? Yet someone did. Common dates are faked because they do not come under as much scrutiny as rarer dates. Also, there seems to be a problem with fake pound coins circulating in the UK. They aren't rare, but they are being faked nonetheless.

    Having said that, the half dollar in your second set of pictures looks real enough. But the left hand in the first set does look odd.

    I would say AU on both coins.
