Yep, MS-Details cleaned. Agree it looks over-dipped.
I took a look at trying to measure it but the size of the pit is so small that I don't have any measuring tools to get into it, despite having a...
Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow. Reminds of one of those optical illusion tests. "Can you see the unicorn in this mix of colored dots? No?"
This 1835 half dime, die marriage LM-8.2, is obviously heavily cleaned and has a couple of non-minor rim dings. But it also has a depression on...
The latest three additions to the US Type Set. I have a very expansive conception of a US Type Set, i.e; if it circulated as money in what was...

On Greysheet, there's only a $50 difference between PF-65 and PF-66; $390 to $440. I don't think it's worth going for an upgrade economically...
