1962 Philadelphia Mint set with a Benjamin half dollar 0

[DragonGate]

Should i break up the set to grade the Half dollar and evaluate for Full bell Lines (FBL)?

[JT2]

well with the Philly going upwards of 1200 and the denver anywhere around 700 in 6 5 and you think they have a shot.. it is worth the gamble.

[DragonGate]

yeah, that's my thought as well.

Thank you JT2

Did you examine the coin closely to see if the lines are complete? If they are broken or interrupted, you can save your money.

[DragonGate]

I did and i think they are there but i know better than to trust myself when it comes to grading

Sooooo....ask someone with more experience than you before you submit the coin. Take you time. Go to a coin show once they open up and show the coin to several dealers. Most will be helpful.

thanks for the advice

If you post some clear pictures, you will probably get some good feedback. Don’t make the mistake that many others do, in thinking about the upside if the coin grades such and such, while ignoring the reality that only a tiny percentage achieve such grades.

Listen to Mark....post some pics here, using a smarpthone.  Closeups of the FBL area would also be nice unless we can zoom in on it.

This is of course a proof with nice obverse cameo. Your coin looks high grade as well but I would keep the set together. These proofs always have full strike detail but can show some die wear. Full bell designation is not given for proofs.

As mentioned above, the coin is a Proof (from a Proof set) not a business strike (from a mint set) as was originally posted. Seeing as how 1962 Proofs are very common and it doesn’t look like a Cameo or Ultra Cameo, chances of it grading high enough to justify the grading and postage fees are extremely slim.
