Thanks for the heads up.
Yep, that’s my intention. The scrapes on the cheek I don’t believe are from cleaning. But, it does have a few other issues. Regardless, nice...
The history of these coins is really fascinating. I love history so I’m right at home.
Lady Liberty was a Greek figure. Up until the Morgan’s came along. She was it. The model for the Morgan’s was a school teacher Anna Willess...
Pratt was an understudy of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He was a talented artist for sure.
Thanks for the reply. So are the Half Eagles the only coin where an Indian model was used?

And you’re generalizing my question and my motivations. Quote “you” you don’t know me from Adam sir or what my motivations are. I have owned this...
So a coin can be graded without details?
True and the wife don’t like cats :nailbiting:
It has 8 tail feathers. No doubt there. I looped it. That’s why it might be worth sending it in. $50 to end the curiosity is worth it. Money well...
True, if I did it, it would just be from a curiosity stand point. It’s been in a draw for 30 yrs in a felt pouch.
Confusing answer. So a VF grading would indicate it has been polished? It’s never been polished for as long as I know. I have owned it for 30 yrs....
Yeah, just leaving it as is now. The photos don’t do it any justice. I’m happy the way it came out. It is very flashy, shiny coin. I may just pay...
