Nice find!!! Where did you acquire this beauty? I love the cud on the obverse and the retained cud on the reverse. I'm guessing a double sided...
It's a normal 40% half dollar. Some look like this, other's don't. It's a clad half similar to the current one's, except from 1965 - 1970 they...
Exactly. Plus 1913 is the only other date possible. I highly doubt it's a future date of 1915 under there. :rolleyes:
I'm thinking NGC called it MS-64. It looks like some good flashy luster there. But I think weaker strike and lack of eye appeal brought it down...
Yeah, it was probably graded at 4:25 on a Friday afternoon.. :smuggrin:
I wouldn't doubt it. If he does return, I have some really rare varieties he might be interested in. I got half a roll of them from the bank the...
I really can't believe this thread went past 2 pages, let alone 22!!!

That is a pretty neat error. I like the cupped effect.
No, the flow lines are due to the very late die state. The weakness in the strike has a little bit to do with the metal that is missing, but it's...
I think that trying to figure out CAC, helps you to look at a coin differently. It certainly starts to get you to look at the coin and not the...
I like the looks of the color. I could not quite nail down a grade for it nor VAM it from the images. I just get the feeling the surfaces are a...
So here are a few close ups I shot this evening of the fissure. Since I have a "Great Wall of George" I may as well call this one the "George...
I really like that 1885-O... :p
The luster is pretty nice. Although I am sure it would be much better had it been struck from a fresh die. The odd part is that George's forehead...
Sorry guys, I'm at work right now. I'll be able to answer some of your questions when I get home.
