I'll go with VF30...but, then again, I'm always wrong. :(
It's the 1970's version of "First Strike". It's cool that someone made the effort.
Possibly, I would have to see it close up. It's clearly a cast fake (imo). The fact that the rays are that of a 1921 confirms it. 1921: [ATTACH]...

Folks were trying to save you the cost of authentication...but if you must, you must. Good luck! Please post the result. :)
I just reposted the OP's close-up from post #15. It's also the reverse of a 1921. If I could find my VAM book, there might be a reference to that...

That's usually my approach, too. ;) Your 1962 Frankie got me thinking about a purchase I made a while back. About 10-12 years ago, I bought a...
Sorry...I was wondering if that was the last Peace Dollar you need to complete your MS64 (or better) set.
1934-S?
The MS64FBL Franklin set has been on my short list of sets to complete for a while. I have about 50% so far. Do you have the 1953S, yet? :) If I...
