1893 Colombian Silver Half Dollar

[xxtazxx]

HI I was wondering if anyone wants to give a look for me. I'm thinking it might be worth grading..any opinions?? There are some die cracks on the reverse pics.

looks AU to me!

yea i was afraid of that. I can see it in the sails and the hair a little too. Do you think the die cracks make and difference or is this a $20 dollar coin.

[jayman1970]

I dont think the die cracks will make a difference.

Thanks for the opinion.. i only paid $25 so i didn't get to hosed but it looked better in the pics on the auction site.

Dont give up yet we will see what some of the other members say,could possibly just be a weak strike.it is hard to tell from a picture,if you have a coin shop in your area let someone there look at it in hand for a better evaluation!

Cleaned or overly dipped Au – you may have some PVC on the Obverse next to the U in United.

its kinda hard to tell with the picks. i agree with mark thou, it does look cleaned/dipped

Not worth the grading fees.

I see cleaning in the hair and sails. I'd save my submission money for a nicer example.

Thanks for all the good info. I also suspected that there might have been a slight cleaning as well.

Too shiny to be natural. It looks like an UNC details coin to me.
