[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 481758, member: 1242"]I agree that the coin appears to have been dipped and there appears to be a rub from a cloth behind Liberty's head where something might have been wiped off. However, the Barber Series coins were very prone to wear and the Halfs like the Morgans were somewhat weakly struck at the New Orleans Mint. Therefore, when you find a Barber Half with a nice of details as this coin has, combined with the fact that it was struck at the New Orleans Mint and it is a Semi-Key Date, then wouldn't you think that a TPG (in this case I believe ANACS would be the best) would bump it up a few points grade-wise???!!! Also, the pictures appear to be slightly out of focus and it is possible the lighting distorts the true look of the coin. I edited and cropped the pictures and have attached them to this post and believe that they may better represent the coin as it is in hand. Eduard...Please let us know if the edited and cropped pictures better represents what the coin looks like in hand??!! Frank Ooops...I forgot to state what grade I thought it might get! I believe that it would get at least an MS-62 but this maybe even way too low.[/QUOTE]
