    Any thoughts on this 1817 half dollar? It looks cleaned to me..but not that worn. Any ideas of grade, value or other comments?
    Thanks!

    I'm OK with VF technical merit. These are scans, so any indications about the surfaces aren't trustworthy, but I'm not any more confident in originality than okbustchaser is.

    Thanks all! Current bid is $170 but hestiating if this is already overpriced for a cleaned specimen..

    I personally wouldn't go any higher--and I would like it much better at 150.

    You can find better.

    Well over retail value already, in my opinion.

    Thank you all for your comments, confirming my hesitation of skipping this coin. Current bid actually $220 now...

    I agree with TypeCoin .... XF details. I think I'm seeing some hairlines on the obverse.
