So what........

 

C'mon @Insider - you should know not to show pics where us old guys have to crack our necks to see them!!

 

I see your "So what" and raise you a "SO what"

 

Beautiful Half Cent!

 

Not sure about AU, the Rev edge. Can't turn monitor to give location & I ain't gonna stand on my head to look. Cleaned

 

Well - I ain't buying it - I think @Insider is once again drawing us into a "think before you speak" situation. Bad pictures, Not indexed to see them, and to buy an original coin in that condition would cost an arm and a leg - and I think his wife would take BOTH of them from him if she found out - LOL!!

 

I posted this for a good reason...comments. "So what" qualifies.

What if I told you it was in an envelope crammed into a hollowed out book in a trunk at a storage auction?

 

Heck, most everything was cleaned years ago, especially on old coppers. Those old copper guys.......ain't they much akin to the fellows on the 'ancient' forum? A cleaning don't bother them one iota..........

 

Hey, I dabble in both sides of the light. But you are right. I still wouldn't clean a copper or non copper.
I don't have a half cent only because of cost. I'd like to add some one day though.

 

SOOOOO WHAAAAAAAT!!!!! I love it and can't really tell a lot about it because of the pictures but it looks good from what I see. If it was in a book at an auction that's even better.

 

OHHH! Decent half cent! I would love to own that regardless if it was touched up.

 

Not bad Insider, I do fancy a nice large cent once in a while.

Dark Side dear fellow.

 

Please help us understand why you say that.

 

I want to know where he got the photos!

I can't see the reverse real well. But, if there is a die crack from the "T" in STATES to the wreath then that coin has none higher than EF. Otherwise I might buy AU. I wouldn't pay more than EF for the coin. No matter which die pair is used.

 

For what reason? The two worse things a professional authenticator can do is to call a genuine counterfeit or call a counterfeit good. I should like to read something you who tell the court jury to prove your opinion.

 

You of little faith...Please read the title again. I own it!
