I have some halves with very faint FG or very faint F with a visible G. Where can I get a pic of an official No FG coin? How do I know when I have one of these?
Thanks

| There is a book called "Get Rich with Pocket Change" that lists the halves that lack the FG or have faint FG listed, unfortunately I have misplaced my copy. I will post what I find wen I find it. |

Sorry it took so long, the book was playing hide and seek with me for a while.
Half dollars with weak or partial or no FG on the back-
1972-D NO FG
1973-D NO F the G is weak
1977-D NO F the G is weak
1982-P NO FG
1983-P NO FG
1989-P NO FG
Just remember, these are the Known errors. There may be errors that have not been discovered yet so keep an eye out for any halves that are not listed here.
The book again is "Strike it Rich with Pocket Change"

| I dont even think the no FG should be an error or variety. It is caused by a polished die. IN Saying that, if you can sell them for money I would, I just dont think it should be considered an error or variety. |
Inquiring minds want to know |

I've taken several faint, VERY faint, FG's to coin dealer's and have had no interest.
I still look for "no FG's" and keep the faint and blobbed ones.
I'm hoping they will have some numismatic value at some time in the future. |

Finding a buyer for faint/no FG half dollars is the trick. Maybe feebay could lead to buyers though there will be expenses involved, maybe a 5 coin deal would create some interest (just guessing on my part.)
I say hang on to the faint/no FG halves if you can, coin collector's attitiudes change over time (at one time the 1922 no D cent was considered a coin of little value. Per the 1952 Red Book the 1922 no D cent was only $2.50 in fine condition, try finding one for less than $100 today.) |
