FWIW it seems kind of crazy to grade and slab $50 coins, but there are people who only collect graded coins, so ......

This is one reason I use a post office box rather than street delivery!
Well said, SuperDave (as usual)
I was referring to the coin you posted - I guess it was a half-dollar. I think I knew which was which - probably (the 1858 - I take it that was a...
It has been pointed out in some other threads that various issues do age differently and it's difficult to identify specific patterns or patterns...

Sentiment appreciated. Unfortunately, for a set collector there are not anywhere near thousands and thousands of choices of first year of issue,...
