The bottom coin doesn't look right to me, the eye and the mouth look wrong, and it looks like there's some unnatural color on the reverse right under America. So with all that my guess is the second coin is a counterfeit. __________________ WINS# 801 http://www.banknotebank.com/?collection=raider34 My WWII Paper Money Collection   10-31-2009, 11:10 PM   #3 (permalink) stella The Myth     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Colorado Posts: 214 My Mood: no there both real, i chcked weight, its just amazingly nice.

As for grade way out of my league, I wonder about the bottome one, it almost looks polished, but as a novice I will admit I have not seen two that look this nice before __________________ E Pluribus FUN!   10-31-2009, 11:51 PM   #9 (permalink) stella The Myth     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Colorado Posts: 214 My Mood: we will know when it gets back from ngc... __________________ Always Be Informed On Investments.....

(haha, if the top is a 65, the bottom might be a 68 A beautiful coin, obviously it never worked a day in its life, since it was released from the mint, __________________ E Pluribus FUN!   11-01-2009, 12:19 AM   #13 (permalink) chip chip   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 583 Blog Entries: 14 I would guess that a coin like that could cost the equivalent of a good house. Is it considered bad form to ask where you acquired it? __________________ E Pluribus FUN!   11-01-2009, 12:23 AM   #14 (permalink) stella The Myth     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Colorado Posts: 214 My Mood: old collection of halfes, i didnt know i had one that nice. the highest is in 67 and its $50,000. If mine were 67 or the almighty 68, i would be the luckiest man in the world... the crazy part of this is i know its real, but i dont know if it has been cleaned or artificially toned __________________ Always Be Informed On Investments.....
