<p>[QUOTE="1953, post: 2643414, member: 85158"]The above mentioned half has not really appreciated much as of February 2017. Same as the 1994-P and 1997-P Matte Jefferson Nickles. Even these in PCGS holders can be purchased in 68, 69 state. Modern rarity type coin. Look at JFK 1970-D. Many of the 2.15 million taken from mint sets and put into albums, etc. Many have not been treated nicely and are not in that great of shape in say MS 64 and up.
