My friend, I'm late to the discussion and I see you resolved the question. But here's the answer I was gonna give: CACG: Yes '47, No '53 PCGS: No...
I've got an AU53 in that marriage which I acquired in May of 2020. I haven't found a nice upgrade for that one in over four years. But my notes on...
[ATTACH] William Kneass-designed Capped Bust Half Dime
Fair question! I think of it kinda like auto parts. If you had a car that cost $25k, but then tried to go buy the individual parts that make up...
This is interesting. It looks at first glance like someone filed the rims down... but then how to explain the super-sharp reeding? I'll be...
Purty!
"Probably???" heheh
This capped bust half dime is an MS62. I can't say that I think it should be any higher than that. But it's a personal fave - super original, and...

Good point. It's all about the focus - if you are the first to see something cool, you can snag it before the crowd gets there! I will say, I've...
Funny, @-jeffB, GreatSouthernCoin is the first one on my ignore list too!
I LOVE the minutiae, @lordmarcovan, and so this was an interesting story! (Didn't hurt that it involved my friend Cladiator too). Just today I...
