Wow! I could whistle at that pretty lady. Gbroke just gave me the link. I need to get goin on that site. That picture is awesome.
Nice coin. Don't know too much info. on it or the price, but anytime you can add something you really like to your collection is great.
Your Half Cent is quite beautiful and those stains on the reverse don't bother me in the least. Copper is so highly reactive to our atmosphere and finding a perfect Half Cent is practically nil. I would wonder about a copper coin that was nearly perfect. Then you have to add the "doctoring" angle. Your coin is fresh and eye appeal galore!
Nice coin and a great find.If you are happy with it then thats all that matters.This is why i like coins i get to pick the one i like and it dosent have to be the choice of anyone but me.
