[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2796134, member: 10461"]FWIW, I myself voted 53, at least on details alone, pretending I was seeing the coin for the first time and didn't know the slab grade. We don't have 25 poll votes yet so I'll wait a bit longer to post the [I]actual[/I] plastic grade or details (which may or may not be AU53). Maybe later tonight. This coin is coming my way in an even swap for one of the non-US coins in my "Eclectic Box" collection. I have been looking for an AU Bust half for a while. This one is whiter than I wanted - I was after an AU50-55 with subtle pastel toning - but since this was offered as a swap I decided that it might just work for me, due to its positive attributes. More on these thought processes later. I have yet to see it in hand. Hope there's more luster when I see it then. I do think it was likely dipped but is market-acceptable. The pictures might be just a tad "hot" (i.e., slightly overexposed).[/QUOTE]
