I'm hoping that Larry wills me that 1880 half, I've drooled over it for quite a while now. But @Skyman shows up with that stunning '93 proof cameo...
I agree, I'm in the 225-250 range. Sure it took a big of a cleaning, but it's still a very nice coin.
There are a couple of ways that it can happen, but we would need to see what the blank face of the coin looks like to determine how it happened. I...
