We've gone round and round and round and round on this topic many times before:...
Yes. The celts are well known for making barbarous copies. This was exactly my first impression. See if you can find yours here:...
With the crudeness of the design, my first thought was "barbaric imitation."
I am not currently actively collecting ancients (not enough money for everything!), but this was my first. I still have this one. I love the...
Entirely plausible that Marshal's coin was struck before the clash. The clash is not described or pictured in the Overton guide.
Let me explain: Capped Bust Half dollars are attributed by the Overton Guide to Capped Bust Half Dollars. Each date is broken down into obverse...

Ooh, yummy original, choice, problem free, lustrous, wonderful coin. I'm at EF-45. This variety is known to have some strike weirdness, but I...
The differences in strike are obvious, but honestly strike is one of the least significant factors in grading. A weak strike may prevent a 67, and...
Wow, well there's a surprise. What am I missing in these images? Because they do not look like a 64 coin to me.
I went back and forth on it. The marks on her breast are the most significant, and may be what puts it into 66+.
Lustrous, attractive, well struck (full thumb), and very few marks. The marks that are present are tiny and not distracting. I wouldn't be...
Yes - the whole point of this post is "how does the graffiti affect the price of this coin?"
