<p>[QUOTE="Aggiecollector, post: 692075, member: 19545"]<b>Wow! What is this coin?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, I was going through a roll and found my first Frankiln. Then a few coins later I found a half I had never seen before. I have never posted pictures on here but I will try a bit later. Anyway, after looking it up it is a 1952 Booker T Washington / George Washington Carver half dollar. Now I looked in Red book to figure out what it is. I am not have what to make of it as the Red book shows some differnet values for it. The hardest thing for me to figure is I have no idea how to grade it. The background on both sides is black as night. I am guessing it is silver as silver turns black right? Now as far as the "busts" and all the writing on it, they are VERY clear even the detail on the US map on the back. You can see all the outlines of the states on it. The coin is not worn at all and seems to have VERY good detail. I have never seen one of these so either way it is pretty cool to find. Any insights out there on value or ballpark grade based on what I describe? Again I will try to post a pic thsi evening.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks to all for your help!!</p><p> </p><p>Erin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
