    As mentioned previously, I purchased three half cents from Tom Reynolds at the last show I attended. Here's the cream of that crop. Have a stab at the grade if you please. Any and all comments welcome.

    That lighting makes it hard to Guess.
    I think I see a slight bit of circulation.

    The pictures are not the greatest. It’s natural sunlight. I’ll do the reveal later today to give time for some more guesses. @Publius2 @johnmilton

    Since you asked, I’ll say something. The photos make the coin look grainy, which is probably not the case. For that reason I did not chime in. I would say that the grade on the holder is MS-63, Brown. There are some small marks on the face and in the fields. There is also a planchet chip to the left of the sixth star.

    I wasn't going to opine because of the poor photos plus I'm dealing with a leaky clothes washer right now. But, since you asked I'll venture 64 BN. It probably looks far better in hand than in the photos.

    A lot of you got it right even with the horrible pictures. I think I need to break out my Nikon again because the cell phone just doesn’t seem to cut it.
