😆😆😆   You're right, the obverse is from another coin that is not in as goodof condition.  I will upload the correct obverse picture!

It's a fake. No real US coin has UNITED STATES OF AMERICL on it.

no, it’s not look it up

Are you still suggesting that it's fake and no US coin has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on it even after I uploaded a photo from PCGS showing the same coin Graded???

Just trying to help you save your money. Your “coin” has AMERICL on it.

How can one grade what looks  like AI upscale gobbledegook?

It looks like the OP changed both the Obverse and Reverse images from what he/she originally uploaded.  The original image he/she uploaded (see below) had what appeared to be an “L” on the end of America instead of an “A”.  I've never seen the word “AMERICL”written on a Kennedy Half before.   A lot of image shuffling going on . . .

Hard to help somebody that’s playing games like this.

my apologies to everyone I figured out why things are looking different on different image of loads. I was using a resolution upscaling app in order to try and make the images sharper and easier to see, but after studying some of the before and after images, I am finding that it is doing some very strange things.  That being said, I will no longer be using that app and just uploading the original image that I take with my camera on my phone.   Sorry about the confusion. I was in no way trying to play games.

Thanks for the update, TeeEss86.  There are some helpful forum posts from Numista users on how to take better pictures.  One Numista user had an interesting idea of using a magnifying glass together with his cell phone.  The pictures looked good.  I wish I could find that specific forum post.  You may want to try something like that.  Maybe someone here knows the Numista post that I'm referring to and can provide a link to it which showed the homemade setup that he used.

 

Edit:  I finally found the Numista post I was referring to:  https://en.numista.com/forum/topic145050.html#p1153984

I really appreciate your understanding, here’s an example of a Civil War Token that I just took a picture of. The one on top is just a plain photo I took, no editing or anything. The one on the bottom I ran through that terrible upscaling app, you will be able to see the obvious strange things it does!
