ANACS AU53 crossover to PCGS. GTG.

Yeah, PCGS price guide has MS63 at like $1500. But they just assigned arbitrary numbers all the way down the line based on the sale of that top pop.

As a collector of these little gems let explaine a few things one must understand about these coins....first small thin, subject to all sorts of hits and dings.Thin often they are bent, and...we're stored in old coin boards!
Thus dark toning, dark coins, dipped coins where only part of the toned came off....now retoned again.
So the toning now is anything but pretty, dark skin perhasp some blue purple huge,
Now I like dark coins but they can be hard to read.
I will be shortly posting some purchased item from C-B-D ....in a week or so...
What the non half dime collector needs to know is there are some sweet varieties,and die marriages that can be worth some moon money.
As this thread points out..... I highly recommend this site to be booked marked
www.everythinghalfdimes.com Seated Liberty Half Dimes by Kevin Flynn another good reference sorce.

 

AU-58

 

I hate You! Now that's a sweet coin.

 

I’m thinking 55 or 58, but will go with 58. Nice looking coin! TC

 

Condition census.

 

I’m gonna say AU58, buuut I’m gonna say pcgs gave it a 61.

 

AU 58+ ...I'll guess it got the rare 58 plus

 

Answer: PCGS MS62. Pop 1, 1 finer. Good job, ANACS!

 

Nailed it....sweet coin great variety

 

Nice coin

 

What's neat on this doubled die is " the Liberty" doubling ,and let you eye follow down right to her gown before the pendant. Most would believe its normal as the pendant is so lightly doubled. The gown hem is so doubled....yet looks so much like the gown it self.

 

Yeah, I've never really studied a higher grade one before, and only ever really noticed the doubling on the letters, not LIBERTY and the gown, etc. Neat!

 

And this is a prime example to study... if nothing else an excerse for the eyes to learn how to interpert what's really right in front of those two eyes.
How many times have you looked at a coin and your eyes go nuts adjusting to the fields. More so adjust or finely focus on what is there and how your brain is seeing it. I have one of this variety no where near as nice....as yours.

 

61

 

This was a CROSSOVER or a crack and raw sub?

 

Crack

 

I wonder what it would have graded as a crossover

Nice score though!

 

You bet they gave it a 65 how is that nailing it?

 

Well, to be fair, he said he graded it 61 or 62, but bet PCGS gave it a 65. This was before the better pics, too. So I'd say he did well.
