First up is a Washington/Carver commemorative half. This was early in the auction. The coin was going cheap and I needed to make sure I knew how to manipulate the auction site….. Nothing special other than the cool old PCGS holder. Next up is my consolation prize for not winning the coin I really wanted. Actually this is a high grade 1803 half. Sadly, I believe it has suffered a dip gone wrong somewhere along the way. Still an attractive early piece.
Indeed. It is grossly undergraded by today's standards. As to the DB half, dipped or not, what's not to like about a lovely Draped Bust lady? That's a higher-grade piece with a lot of "meat" on it.
If Randy wants to try for a gold sticker, I’m a CAC dealer and could do so on his behalf. I have some stuff going to them, but it might be a while before I get to it.
