The Mint was pretty inconsistent in the old days, with all sorts of variations on coins within a year, and with oddball issues like this one, with one date stamped over the other. If you like oddities, this is a nice example of an overdate on a Capped Bust half dollar. Fair amount of wear on the coin, but it has a pleasing patina and the second eight looks like it has ears or horns due to that 7 sticking out from behind. Cool coin!
Grade: I judge this coin to be VG-10, but you be the judge. I examine coins under a microscope and evaluate them according to PCGS Photograde Online and
Offers: I am always willing to receive offers. I may not accept your offer, or may counteroffer, but I think two people who share the same interest ought to be able to have a conversation about it.
Photos: I take all my own pictures of the actual coins I list. I use a Nikon Z7 with a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens and Godox flash to capture high quality images. I never use stock photos, and I do not manipulate the images to make them look better than the actual coins.
My Standards: I only list coins that I would want for my own collection - high-grade and low-mintage/key date coins. This means I do not have a lot of coins listed at any one time, but they are all keepers. If you have questions about this coin, please ask. I also write all my own product descriptions; I never use AI or cut-and-paste someone else's text. All of this means I strive to be honest and trustworthy. I want you to be completely satisfied with your coin purchase. If you are not, for any reason, please contact me immediately so I can make it right.
About Me: I've been collecting coins for decades; now that my teenage son is also collecting, we decided to start a family business. When you purchase from us, you support our family and my son’s education. We’re eager to share our love of coins and want to make sure you have a fully positive experience. Thank you!
