I usually collect non-US coins, ancient coins, and medals. I received this Seated Half Dollar, 1861-O (New Orleans). Any opinions as to a grade?
I'm in the VF-35 camp as well. There is some pretty cool history related to the 1861-O half. Read more about it here. http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1861-o/
Im thinking VF 35. But, and correct me if im wrong, do you think it was cleaned a long time ago and has retoned since?
