I like this '25 a lot, Rusty... although I can't agree that it's "Unc", I can say that the cleaning doesn't look harsh and could easily go...
Looks like a neat die variety, and I'm diggin' those die gouges! Not sure what kind of premium the VAM might command, but considering it's an...
Amen to that, brother (minus the beer)... ;) :halo:

Ok, one more... :p 1814 is my favorite year for the half dollar. So many neat varieties were created just within this one year! [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Oh, I've got plenty... since it's all I collect! :D How 'bout a couple of cool 1814 CBHs? :cool: [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH]

Reed marks. Occurs when a coin with a reeded edge's rim comes in contact with another coin, causing an impression into the victim coin's surfaces....
