I recall a conversation with another bigger dealer who said he had 800 coins in for grading because of how extended their turnaround times are....
1880 Barber Half? Any way, I think this coin will fetch $2025 including buyer's fee.

I'll just question whether it truly is corrosion we're looking at, as opposed to missing flakes of the CUNI sandwich layer . . . I think I see...
