Stone Mountain
Commemorative Half Dollar
36569145
Details
PCGS Designation: 9378
Certificate: 36569145
Grade: MS63
Obverse Die: Normal Die
Reverse Die: Doubled L in DOLLAR
Stars: 13/35
Notes: This is a well struck coin with most of the reverse stars visible and clear obverse detail. There is an obverse die crack running through Lee's hat that is similar to the die crack on the FS-101 Double Die coin. But this die crack is slightly different and the date is not doubled.
This coin also illustrates a phenomena that we see on a lot of these coins as the die starts to become fatigued. Not quite as visible in these images but definitely visible on the coin is a deterioration of the whole die around the lettering. This manifests itself as a roughness that surrounds the letter as the die begins to lose its sharpness to all letters. This can look like die doubling but it is not.
