This is quite a bit of an esoteric question for the Capped Bust Half Dollar collectors out there. I asked it of a friend that is a rabid Bust...
The short answer is 1% to 25% but that's not very illuminating, is it? So, a couple of examples: I assume you mean the US coins minted between...
While WD-40 and many other compounds would accomplish the same thing on a slab scratch, I wouldn't recommend anything that is adulterated with...
