It graded MS 63 with rev struck through (and it was part of the Jules Reiver collection)

 

That schoolwork sure is paying off! Congrats!

 

Very nice

 

Very nice specimen with a nice pedigree, a R-1 however how many 170 + year old half dime do you see...?

 

Cool coin. Where was E W when we needed him?

 

He sent his honor student @heavycam.monstervam

 

He nailed it. Great coin.

 

It's a nice looking coin. Sometimes photographs can certainly be deceiving.

@heavycam.monstervam may have graduated, but there were two very important rules he overlooked when offering an opinion in a GTG.. (1) You have to wait until at least five responses after a reveal to give an opinion. Sorry Jason, you'll need to dispose of that sheet of EW Beans you were issued. Keep trying, maybe you'll get the hang of how it works next time. (2) Keep in mind, you need to either have recently been over seas and just returning, currently over seas with a client or en route to traveling over seas to see a client when you give your opinion. When giving your opinion, you must notify the forum of which of the current 3 situations applies. This cannot be overlooked. Any more infractions and your EW diploma will be nullified.

 

@jtlee321
Actually rule #1 at the wooderson art & craft
school of expert numismatic grading is >>
If you have seen the slab in person BEFORE the reveal, be one of the 1st to guess so you look like a genius and numismatic guru.
Rule #3 is dont tell anyone if you've had inside information regarding the coin in question.

In other words- im a genius and glad i could help you guys out. Since you need my help all the time. I will have my assistant contact me in dubai next time im needed

 

This is not funny and not accurate at all

 

How many chairs on your board?

 

Who is Jules Reiver, why is he named on the label? For those of us too lazy to use Google.

 

As soon as the answer is posted wait 5 minuites and ask Ed.

 

He was a excellent collector and I have read many of his books and keep them in my numismatic library I am building. My favorite book that I refer to most is his book on U.S. Early Silver Dollar 1793-1803, which won the 1999 National Literary Guild Award. Also, He was appointed to the Citizens Commemorative
Coin Advisory Committee to the U.S. Mint, serving from
1996-1999. He also spoke at a lot of numismatic conventions,
he did coin appraisals both locally and nationally, and wrote
auction catalogs for special coin sales. He was a really well liked guy too

 

I think it’s hilarious and right on the money.

We put up with your nonsense for comic relief. Don’t get assertive with us.

 

Is rule #2 having a .... ?

 

I will have my assistant contact me in dubai next time im needed.




Are you wintering there this year?

 

Did he first attribute this error?
Why is he named on the slab?
Thank you.

 

Jules Reiver did a lot of research, etc. I can't answer your first question, but I always thought the slabs that were from his personal collection have his name. My impression is that he was more interested in locating coins that showed the various die varieties etc. that interested him than looking for such high grade coins. He owned a lot of coins. Some feel NGC tended to overgrade his collection a bit. I own a couple of his coins, I think they are neat. They usually sell for a bit of a premium.
