A PF-70 coin means that the coin is proof (it is a coin that has not been circulated and it has a mirror like shiny finish on it) and that its rating is 70 out of 70 because you grade coins on a scale of 0-70. If you have a PF-70 coin that means that it's perfect, so you should not spend it!

How do you tell if your American silver eagle is a pf70 or not?

You can't unless you pay the $20+ to send your coin to NGC/PCGs even under magnification the ordinary person cannot tell the difference between a pf69 and pf70 coin. Of course, it is easy to tell if your coin is uncirculated or proof, a proof silver eagle will have very shiny, mirror like fields that are easy to see yourself in. An uncirculated silver eagle will be shiny, but won't be mirror like. Also, the raised part of the coin will look frosted on a proof coin but not on an uncirculated coin.


What is PF70 in coins?

It's the highest possible grade for a Proof coin. The mnemonic "PF" identifies the general category of Proof-grade coins, and within that there are finer numeric gradations ranging from 60 to 70. Almost no coins grade to PF70 because it's the best of the best, with no blemishes or nicks, and a sharply-defined strike all over.

What is the worth of a perfect condition 1963 Franklin half dollar?

Without more detail on the coin, it is hard to say what the value is. You need to know whether it is a business strike coin or a proof coin. You need to know the mint mark. A 1963 Franklin will have no mint mark or a D mint mark. You need to determine whether the coin would be considered to have Full Bell Lines (the 7 lines at the bottom of the Liberty Bell on the reverse side of the coin). Finally, you need to know the grade or approximate grade of the coin. Coins are graded on a scale of 0 to 70 with 70 being perfect. Coins are classified into mint state coins (coins that were minted to be put into circulation) and proof coins (coins that were minted for collectors). A perfect mint state coin would be an MS70 and a perfect proof coin would be a PF70. PCGS, one of the most reputable third-party coin grading services, has never graded a Franklin half dollar an MS70 or a PF70. Not to say that the "perfect" Franklin half is not out there, it just has not yet been graded. A 1963 Franklin half that receives an MS65 grade by PCGS would be worth $50. If the 1963 Franklin half received a MS65 Full Bell Lines, it would be worth $1,400. A 1963 Frankin half that receives a grade of PF68 is worth about $80. Coins that are graded and "slabbed" by a reputable third-party coin grading service are going to be more valuable than raw, ungraded coins. Therefore, to get a true picture of what your coin is worth, you need to find out a little about grading and determine the condition or grade of the coin.

How much is a 1984 fifty cent piece worth?

The value of a coin depends on many factors, one is the condition, or grade, of the coin. Another factor than can effect the value of the coin is the mint mark on the coin. A 1983 Kennedy Half Dollar has one of three mintmarks - D, S or no mint mark. If the coin has no mint mark on it, it was manufactured in Philadelphia. If it has an S mint mark, it is a proof coin and was minted in San Fransisco. The D mint mark is for the mint in Denver. A 1984 P or D mint mark Kennedy Half in somewhat good, circulated condition is worth about $1. A 1984P in a high mint state condition is worth approximately $120. A 1984D in a high mint state condition is worth about $180. A 1984S can be worth up to $200 in perfect of PF70 condition. Most 25 year old coins that have been in circulation will usually receive a grade of VF20 or so. If this is the case with your coin, its worth about $1.
