1961 50 cent half dollar error coins
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2019 11:42 am
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been going through my Dad's coin collection and found a roll of 1961 half dollars, all of which seem to have similar errors. The most notable/consistent one is a connection between the T and H in "Elizabeth." My understanding is that this kind of thing can happen because of cracked/filled/poorly polished dies.
Questions: 1) Is this an error? 2) I included photos of what might be other errors--what do you think? 3) The front looks normal to me--am I missing anything? 4) Do these errors make the coins more valuable/collectible? 5) By how much?
Sorry to pepper you guys with questions but I'm still trying to get a sense of how all this works.
