You are an incorrigible doubter, aren't you. Try this: a VF graded by NGC awarded a Star for exceptional eye appeal. This isn't my coin, but...
Wow. That seems low.
All the time, if you're looking. The toning comes from how it was stored *after* it was taken out of circulation. Even the "dark grey" you...

Let me explain: Capped Bust Half dollars are attributed by the Overton Guide to Capped Bust Half Dollars. Each date is broken down into obverse...
Are you saying you don't think it matches O-117? Take a look at the link I posted - I think your coin is a solid match.
Good, glad we agree! :)
