Well, one thing you might consider is that coin photography (or, lighting) often accentuates even the tiniest of marks/rubs/dings. I've got coins...
I kind of figured, based on your comments, that the coin was going to be in a "lower than expected" holder. To me, the coin looks like a piece...
Here's a CoinTalk post hiding in the Google search results where @Mark Metzger does an overlay:...
Yeah, I don't see those parallel lines on either of the CoinCommunity Halves either. They do remind me a lot of the same area on some Morgan...
Pretty sure the area in the shield is a die clash, as I mentioned back in Post #5. Here is another 1858 P Seated Half with the same clash in the...
Sent you a PM, so as not to hijack @Morgandude11's thread too badly. He hasn't revealed the grade yet, FWIW.

Recently imaged this coin for someone, and...something is making my Spidey sense tingle... [ATTACH] Is it just me...or is there something going...
Just added some new coins to my website this morning. Figured I'd share the images while I stay inside (out of the rain) today. Of course,...
My only experience with USA Coinbook was running a set of 10-day auctions for some self-assembled US Toner Type Sets. Most sets didn't even get...
I used that for the Large S Variety....only one use per option today :)
I'd venture a guess it's an MS65 (no FS) Large S. Apparently 65 not an option, so let's do MS64!
Just added some new coins to my website (here is the link for my Raw World Coins page) as well as updated my March 2021 prize (a German States...
NGC lists it under German States fwiw
That DOES look like it - great job! I was looking in the complete wrong century...so yeah, it would have taken me a while. Thank...YOU! I did...
