My dad bought these coins on eBay and got screwed. He took them to get graded, but ANAC could not guarantee that they were 100% authentic. My dad was going to melt them down for the silver content, but I offered to take them off his hands and offer the rounds to someone that cannot afford the real coin and can really appreciate these forms of artwork.

ANACS used a Handheld XRF Spectrometry (https://www.bruker.com/products/x-ray-diffraction-and-elemental-analysis/handheld-xrf.html) and since they don't grade counterfeit coins they inspect the coins prior to grading. They return these coins stating they could not and would not 100% verify the authenticity of these coins.

ANACS also stated, that the weight is correct, the diameter is correct, the composition is correct to a genuine U. S. Mint Silver Half-Dollar.

Again, I can and will GUARANTEE you that this round contains 90% silver and 10% copper. This is the exact round you will receive.

FACTS:

China began making copies of this coin to sell (it's considered a form of art work in their country), and unfortunately these counterfeits made it back to the US. Some of these counterfeit Silver Half-Dollars fooled the experts, and many used to be sold on eBay until collectors became informed.

hi-all you are stating is that the coin contains 90 % silver-BUT you cannot guarantee the the authenticity of this coin--silver wise it is worth little--but the numismatic value is in question---SINCE it may not be genuine-the way to go is PCGS---not anacs-the rim is the culprit -it shows minimal wear

My dad bought a lot of coins and the coins could not be graded because they said they could not guarantee its authenticity. We lived in Centennial Colorado where ANAC is at and that is why we always used ANAC for his coin grading. We also took them to a coin shop and they said they were not real but the silver content does contain 90% silver and 10% copper and the weight is dead on
