The design elements protrude from the background higher than usual and above the rim which causes the coin not to stack well and is impractical for coinage.
A high relief Kennedy half dollar can be identified by its prominent, raised features compared to a standard coin. The most noticeable characteristics are the depth of the portrait and the distinct separation of elements, such as the hair details and the inscriptions. Additionally, if you hold the coin at an angle, the light will create pronounced shadows on the elevated areas, enhancing the three-dimensional appearance. Collectors often refer to these coins as having a "deep" or "high" relief quality.
No 1977 halves were struck in silver. It's also very difficult to tell by a coin's ring because clad coins are frequently irregular internally due to thickness differences that occur as the clad stock is rolled out. Look at the coin's edge. If it's copper-colored like the edge of a quarter or dime, you have an ordinary copper-nickel circulation half that's worth face value.
It isn't. No 1969 quarters are silver. Silver quarters were only made in 1964 and before. All quarters from 1965-present are copper-nickel. There isn't even a 1969 commemorative quarter that was struck in silver. There is no possible way for it to be silver.
The question is not are they real, but are they genuine. 925 means sterling silver. Whether they are genuine- we can't tell without seeing the ring. Ask a jeweler to look at it.
Always buy from reputable outlets,remember if your being offered any high end goods for cheap,they will always be counterfeit or fake as you say.

The difference is in the height that the design details extend out from the surface. High reliefe coins tend to not get fully struck up on the high points of the design -- especially in the hair above the ear. Pictures of the high & low relief coins can be seen on CoinFacts, using the link below.
Sorry, silver dollars don't have genders.
you can tell it's real by the silver. If its real silver it is real. Get it?? I hope that helped you.
By the mint mark on the reverse of the coin, but silver dollar coins with no mint mark are made in Philadelphia
Please rephrase question.
Better tell that to the US Mint as I am holding one in my hand as we speak.
Look for the mint mark.
It will have "CC" in the mint mark position, on the reverse side above the DO in DOLLAR.

The best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer.
Take it to a local coin collector and see what he or she says.
