I have another question.....
Good Friend of mine mother had taped each of the half dollars she had and he got them when she past on.
Is it best to leave the tape on?
What does WA mean on a coin?
1951 one looks doubled but not sure if it's because of the tape, That's the one I was wondering if it's best to try take the tape off.

    @Turkeygrl67 Welcome. "AW" are the initials of Adolph Weinman on the Walking Liberty half.
    Tape glue residue is bad. You may dissolve coin surface contaminants by soaking that Peace dollar in acetone. No guarantees, the tape impressions may have caused permanent damage.
    Nada on the die doubling. Interested in learning? Go to error-ref.com for valuable numismatic knowledge. Good luck. Peace Roy
