First off, hey all im new to the scene and just wanted to say Hi. Now on to the good stuff. Recently i recieved a set of coins from my grandmother. One of the coins was a 1920 pilgrim half dollar in what appears to be unbelievably great shape . After talking to her she told me that it was put aside within 2 days after it was purchased by her father. Unfourtunatly my digital camera is busted so i cant post a pic tonight. I have for hours looked it over with many of magnifying glasses and can not find any wear. The only imperfection i see is a small tick mark only seen thru a glass. I know its tough but if possible without seeing a picture could anyone give me a rough estimate? Thanks for looking
Howdy Seano - Welcome to the Forum !! There really is no way to say what the value is without seeing the coin, but I can give you a range. It could be worth from $50 to $500 depending on the condition of the coin. Post a pic when ya can - then I can narrow it down for ya
Thanks I appreciate it. From what ive read theres never been 1 graded abve 67. If mine is truly uncirculated and has been put aside since struck maybee ill be the first 68. (well I can dream can't I) Thanks for the help
Well if you're gonna dream you may as well dream correctly Even if it graded MS67 - the value would jump to about $1400
These are pics off my camera phone (which is pretty bad) hopefully it at least gives an idea.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/essays/vanRiper/020809.htm I have been using this method of taking pictures of my coins and it really works. I don't have all the fancy camera and stuff,but it works with a digital camera and a bright light.
