I read the title as How do I do it Probably the same answer anyway Right time right place PHAT wallet Very Nice.
I see lots of luster, but I can't tell whether the duller areas on the hair and wing are wear or just not fully struck. AU63?
I’ll be honest. I have an MS62 in my safe deposit and all I have is a crappy photo that was cut and pasted from my insurance photos. So please don’t bash me on this photo…. This MS62 is as baggy as any coin I own. it is not a pleasant coin to look at. Zilch eye appeal….. And if I judge if I judge @Pickin and Grinin half eagle based on my homely piece…. I am going MS65+.
Just because yours graded MS 62 the OP‘s coin is nowhere near GEM BU. I‘d say it‘s anywhere in between AU55 and MS62… if it graded higher I can still blame the bad pics or gradeflation ;-)
