    Hi I think this 1964 is the accented hair half dollar

    It has the weak or broken serif ,can anyone confirm ?

    If so would you have the half graded or the set of just keep as is ?

    All comments welcome...well most of them 15485293180371952455724.jpg 1548529392397-1090693183.jpg 1548529454782-1248604340.jpg 15485294908991988602469.jpg 1548529600631-1755323191.jpg 1548529624718-755058479.jpg

    Gorgeous coin either way. I cant tell from the pics but I suck so whatever. Personally in my little weird world, I would just keep it put and enjoy it.

    Im very novice here. I wouldnt trust me telling someone a quarter is worth 25 cents. However, I did go through a little phase of searching halves. That one you got is a keeper! Everything about it looks great. Hopefully it is some sort of variety and that would make it even neater for you!

    I agree. Just dont let the harshness around here get to you lol! Some take this very seriously. Im more in it for the "hunt" and love a coin that takes me an hour to research all the little details. I also love anything that shines real nicely like your example.

    Too much of what you see about coins on BoobTube is produced by people looking for followers uneducated in the field of numismatics. By the way, if you have a copy of "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change", you might as well throw it in the trash.

    The only guy getting rich with pocket change is the author of the book.

    Yes, I believe you do have the accented hair coin. Pretty cool pick-up. I still do not have one myself. Almost got one at the last coin show but opted for the '83 Souvenir set instead.

    I believe that is an accented hair.

    On the accented hair variety, the letter "I" in LIBERTY is missing a serif on the bottom-left side.
    It's not worth a great amount, but it's a nice find.

    Your coin does look like the AH variety. Nice find. If you take a photo with a light source coming from the left you should be able to get a reflection of the accent that looks similar to this.

    Your photo shows it well enough, but it is fun to work with.

    Ah ya belter,very happy with that . Thanks for all the comments
    I think there was only 3.8 million 1964 proof sets made roughly
    So I will hang on to this set,but should I have it graded ?
