Got this in the mail today. The luster is much nicer than the picture appears. There is a small spot of scratches next to the eagles head, which may be tick marks from reeding, as they are perfectly spaced, but I can't say for sure. I would call the coin an ms-63 personally. What do you guys think?
Gorgeous coin. Very nice strike. I just can't get an impression of the luster from looking at the picture.
is that a thunb print on the right behind her head? its got a oval curve to it, like the shape of a thumb?! she is purdy however ...
Well I said it was a 63 in the original post, but with those pics, I think it is definitely a shot 64. That coin looks absolutely clean, expect for the mark you pointed out. I guess the grade will just depend on the color and luster. Looks like you have another winner!
I'll let everyone know by monday what it grades. It's arrived at it's location, and is being graded express. I'm excited to see! I really hope it comes back nicer than a 63.
Looks like you have at least an MS64 there zane. Its a beautiful Bust Half. That would make a great prize for a future contest!!!
Nice! Man, that is one fine looking coin. I'd have a smile on my face every time I held it. Great find.:high5:
