<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chascat, post: 2974564, member: 76792&quot;]We all agree on several items...Looks cleaned, grainy, weird MM, poor strike, etc., and ugly.&nbsp; A description in the Professional Edition Red Book explains...The Half dollar does not have the typical deep mint frost associated with earlier silver issues.&nbsp; Most are satiny in appearance with the high parts in particular having a microscopically grainy finish.&nbsp; Many pieces have an inner line around the perimeter near the rim, a die characteristic.&nbsp; On the reverse of all known coins, the eagle&#039;s breast feathers are indistinct, which sometimes gives MS coins the appearance of having light wear.&nbsp; This subject coin displays all of these features along with a few others afore mentioned.&nbsp; I am having my doubts if the coin is a fake, but simply a typical strike with very poor eye appeal.&nbsp; What does it weigh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
