Clashes both sides [ATTACH]
I just could not decide with any certainty if the obverse had been wiped or not. The coin was photographed inside some kind of a plastic...
Looks like it could be PL so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and call it MS-63 PL. For comparison, here is my 1883-O NGC MS-63 DPL. In...
Nope, die rotation this small is not a "thang" unless it's a lot and/or can be attributed to a rare die marriage/state.
Thanks to all for your opinions, which were highly valued. I put in an offer on the coin which was accepted. Here are the seller's photos. The...

This Variety 5, 1874 With Arrows completes my major variety half dollar type set. Just for background, the major Red Book varieties of LS half...
61, baggy, spotty, weak strike to me but I am no Peace Dollar expert.
I wonder what the turnover rate is at the TPGs? It would seem to me that the burn-out rate might be high. While I love looking at coins as a...
