<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 2031129, member: 53226"]I've told the story before, but this half dollar was found in our old house when we moved out. It was underneath some built in drawers at the end of a hallway. Apparently it was customary at the time to hide coins in houses when they were built (our house was built in '64.) When my mom gave it to me, I saw the patina on it and assumed it was a low grade coin, but now that I know a little more about grading coins I know that it's possible that it never was circulated. I obviously haven't sent it off to get it slabbed, but I might do it one day because the coin has much sentimental value to me. What grade do you think it would receive? I have absolutely no idea. It could be VF or it could be MS as far as I know.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_3863_zps1984fdf2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_3867_zps06734b94.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
