Definitely one of our finest designs . As to price and grade I agree to what Green , Frank and Tom B. said . They know their coins .
Hits are wherever the coin came in contact with another coin or something hard enough to leave a ding or hit . I guess the more correct term would...
I'm pretty sure they reworked the hub in 1916 , that's why so many great full strikes are seen i '16 and '17 . Put me in the no category as the...
It almost looks like it was sand blasted or whizzed , as the hits are not shiny like they should be . This could be from the not so clear pics...
Beautiful coin , almost looks like a special issue of some kind .

It wasn't your pics Dick , the more I looked at this I couldn't see why I gave it a 66 , especially for NGC . Beautiful coin and my mistake .

I thought for sure those reverse spots would have kept it from a 65 .
It looks ok , but the lack of a dot after fine bothers me as I couldn't find it in Breens Encyclopedia . Where the Chinese usually mess up is the...
I like Alaska , Montana and Texas and hate my states , Illinois . I mean could they stuff more things on a small coin , Lincoln the states outline...
I definitely like my Capped Bust halves raw , since most of mine are EF or lower I also like holding them . I've also cracked out coins whose...
Tough call , as I can see the crack starting at star 8 , but don't see it going down to star 13 , So I'd say 104a . Unless you can see the break...
The 1st one looks iffy and the second one has definitely been cleaned , but like Tom B. said I really can't see the last one to tell , but at...
Because this one doesn't look bad to me .
I don't think he added anything , he knows how the tpgs grade and this coin is a 66 . Don't forget that these pics are way over sized and every...
