    Picked up an 1823 O-101 Broken 3. I remember seeing this pictured among all the other date varieties in the first Red Book I got when I was 8 or 9 and thought it was really cool then. I still think it's cool.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    That is a beautiful coin!

    The 3's this year... they got pretty messed up.

    This one is known as the "ugly 3"

    Beautiful coin. Love it. The 3s can be fun that year. Broken patched ugly etc. xf 45? With great eye appeal

    PCGS VF35. Eye appeal of higher grade, for sure.

    Gorgeous coin! One of my favorite series of 1/2 dollar!

    Wow. I think they were harsh on it. I see it as minimum 40

    For comparison, the one I posted is graded 40. I didn't post the reverse of mine, but John's has more wear on the wings, cap, hair, and bust. I don't think 35 is unfair, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see it in a 40 holder on a resubmission.

    I would have guessed the coin got a 40.

    I have a 23 but it's not very nice. Old PCI VF-20. Image_0538.jpg Image_0539-date.jpg Image_0541.jpg I think it's the O-104.

    I think it's the O-104.

    It is...and nice for a VF-20.

    One heck of a messed up date. Also. Is that a die crack?

    You and @physics-fan3.14 are doing great with the 3's
