Online Appraisal

D. Hello i am trying to figure out what type of error this would be? I have never seen an error like this and was trying trying to see what "type" this would be classified as if anything.... Half dollar with 8 stamped over mouth error?? Misprint ?? Kinda looked like scratch until took pic and them BAM that 8 stood out. If you can help me identify i would greatly appreciate it.

You should not assume it's an error just because it has novel features. This is surely a coin altered after it left the mint. Interesting but not to the degree that it exceeds fifty cents.


DISCLAIMER (The fine print): We have answered your question about this coin despise the fact that it may not have met the qualifications for our complementary appraisals as explained in our FAQs. We ask collectors, before submitting queries, that they first consult our posted tutorials and prior posted questions and answers. We are up front that our specialties are classic and rare coins, and ask people not to submit images of damaged coins and modern minor varieties. We hope we were still able to help!
