64 with a little hesitation as I think the TPGs might well call it 65. I just think it has few too many small nicks.
I'm calling it a 66 from the TPGs but my personal grade would be a high 65. It just has a few too many small nicks in prime focal areas and the...
65. I'd call it a 66 for luster, strike, cc, minimal bag marks...except the hits on the lower neck look pretty bad and distracting to my...
I'll be there every day since I only live about 20 miles away. Looking forward to putting names and avatars together.
You guys are great! I just ordered it. Ed
I can't find Kevin's book on eBay or Amazon and don't get a search engine response to the title. Is the book available directly from Mr. Flynn?...
I am familiar with Valentine's work and Al Blythe's work, both available on the Newman Numismatic Portal and also with Clint Cummins'...

Take your chances if you like on authenticity and quality. The WL half is about 600 if genuine and a clean grade. This coin should be slabbed as...
That is one gorgeous coin! The die rusting and toning simply adds to the charm of these early American classics. I can't recall seeing the hair...
Good advice and fundamental - can't go wrong with that. Thanks.
Much better after the acetone soak. If that was PVC residue, you could hardly do any further damage by using the acetone. Have you considered...
I did a search and didn't find anything specific on this so maybe my question won't waste everyone's time: I am looking at several early half...
