    Hey @robec, that 1832 half dollar is about the nicest AU53 I've seen! Sweet coin.

    Nippin' at my heels, you are . . . I've got this one below that's my daily carry. Lost one much like it once (I think betwixt the seats in a truck I sold), and @Jaelus reconnected me with it (I like to think it's the same coin). Photos are a few years old, but the coin barely looks different today. It's amazing how long it takes these things to wear naturally.

    I think there's no way so many of the lowball moderns the grading services are holdering aren't done in jewelry tumblers.

    Since those are robec images, I’ll just say (for what it’s worth) that of the many coins he has imaged for me:

    The coins with legitimately vibrant color in-hand under a good lamp look vibrant in his photos, and the ones that have dull/non-vibrant color in-hand look dull/non-vibrant in his photos.

    I'll take your post at face value, and assume then that the coin is just as fantastic looking as it appears in the photos.

    I did not look carefully enough to determine that the photos did not come from PCGS' website, and wrongly assumed the color in them was oversaturated, as I've seen in so many cases.

    Makes perfect sense- those angles aren’t typical of the standard trueview look so I can see why it would look “off”.

    His website has some cool comparisons when there’s both a trueview and robec images as an aside.
