<p>[QUOTE="GH#75, post: 3572946, member: 101202"]Looks heavily worn, in my opinion. There are clear details next to the areas that are worn off. If it was struck on grease, the little details would look worn too. But on this half dollar, all of the details that are lower in elevation on the coin look to be in good condition. At least, when they are protected by other higher/elevated parts of the coin. For example, the rays behind the head of the eagle on he reverse. It's easier for grease to mess up the coin there, and harder to wear them off from the years that it has been in circulation. And since the details that are lower on the coin look to be in pretty good condition, its probably just a heavily worn coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
