It has been said before that quite a few coins with that Stack's W 57th St Collection pedigree are optimistically graded.
VF 25....has a nice look to it!
Well done! That is the Dollar I've been watching for years. I first saw it at a show with a dealer that tends to be moody and prices almost...
I'm a fan of these. The set is half complete (or 2/5 complete if you include the cent). 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar PCGS AU 55 [IMG] 1883 PCGS MS...

Just got done with my "interview" :p...luckily all is good as all can see from the grade reveal: [ATTACH]
