The page that you are reading is stating that the PCGS certified population in EF45 is two; it is not saying that only two have been certified....
MS65? Not with all the scruffiness going on near Ms. Liberty's jawline and the reverse scratch from the field into the left wing (as the viewer...
They are very neat, but the 1864 IHC issues are known a bit for 180 degree rotation. I do not know the added value, but I would certainly pay...
I've recommended to folks many times that ANACS certified coins are often looked at as being either raw or as a problem coin when the time comes...
My response has nothing to do with "stooping" to ANACS and has everything to do with acknowledging current market dynamics that have been in...

The OP did not call this a problem-free G4. Rather, the OP stated the coin "is in pretty bad shape, with a grade of good". Those are two...
Given the details, I would wait.
I adore Barber coinage. This coin would likely grade at F15 for me.

Yes, it looks like it. That is pretty cool. I also found a minor clip on a Franklin half from a US Mint Set.
Do not waste your money on certification fees since it is fake. Also, do not generally handle coins of potentially large value by placing them on...
