[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 165745, member: 705"]Well I would say any mint---when you go to the shop ask them if they have any slabbed 1947 (Half Dollar/cent/nickel/quarter/ etc what every you are wanting) in the MS grades...---the mintmark I would say doesn't really matter in this case. Try to stay with either PCGS/NGC/ICG/ANACS----look for black spots--dark toning--fingerprints and such---if it has any of those I would pass. If they don't have one I would tell them thanks and go to one of the dealers online---I think the grades I would look for are anywhere from MS63-MS65---prices should be under $150---also when looking at the coin ask them how much---even if it is marked---don't smile or anything just keep a blank face and what I do is just keep on looking at the coin while I ask---normaly they will come down alittle---if they don't I walk away---dealers have to make a proffit I know but most of the time they can come down alittle.... Good luck--if the shop doesn't work out let me know and I'll check out some more online dealers and send you some links... Speedy[/QUOTE]
