For an '81-S, 65 max. But tell me this, the color of your background, in which pic is it accurate, the obv or rev ? My guess is you still need...
Kinda proves my point.
You'd be surprised at what's been found in rolls. Ask Bill (foundinrolls), he'll tell you.
Sorry, but the coin is a fake. No mint mark, dates in wrong places, motto is wrong - everything about it is wrong.
Vess - when you use the Numismaster search function, if you are not certain of the information, just leave the appropriate boxes blank. Only enter...
Jack I don't believe for one minute that they are "tight" now days. They have ALWAYS been that way ! ALWAYS ! I will say though, more and more...
Really ! Sounds like just more inconsistency from PCGS to me. If your pic is accurate, I see nothing wrong with that coin. Why'd you crack it out...
Ruben - what are you asking about ? Do you mean the areas I circled ? If so, it is quite normal, so I'm confused.
There is no such thing as an '81 filled S. In '79 there was a filled S (type 1) and a clear s (type 2). In '81 there was a type 1 and a type 2....

It has advantages, also has disadvantages. First of all you have to know the coin is genuine - many are not.
As most of you who are familiar with Coin Talk are aware, we have a member here by the name of Clinker. Now Clinker has gone to the trouble and...
Fair enough Eddie, NGC calls it Full Torch. Guess I do too just to distinguish them from Mercs.
Even at 65 that coin isn't really worth grading fees. I'd save your money.
Eddie there is no comparison for the pics you posted. Mercs are Full Bands, Roosies are Full Torch - each has different criteria for the...
Thank God !
See why I don't bother with scientific explanations ? You end up with forty eleven different explanations, all of them throwing around what...
It finds them all for me. Of course part of your problem with the 1/2 franc might be that there is no such thing as a 1962 French 1/2 franc. But...
OK - so what was the reason PCGS had for the Genuine holder ?
Unless, it was due to a liquid that contaminated the surface of the coin. And based on that way that coin looks, that would be my guess as to what...
