[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 7497202, member: 42034"]In case anyone is watching: an update. Both coins sold and despite bidding I got neither tho I did bid in the range for the darker toned half. The lighter coin (with the flat leg) is an NGC-63 1839 No Drapery Seated half and sold for $18K or 21.6K w/ comission. It was the subject of a 360 degree video view which provided very little information. I did send my concerns about the flat leg to the auction firm and they said "we believe the coin is unc". I don't like the flat leg and won't bid on such pieces: especially since ===> The darker coin is ALSO an 1839 No Drapery Seated half also in 63. This is a PCGS "Gold Shield" (whatever that means) and is the same die variety. It doesn't have the flat leg but is a little weaker strike. It sold for $17.5K or $21K w/ commission. A much nicer coin IMO. This is why I couldn't post full pix as the No Drapery Halves are pretty much one year type coins and I didn't want competition. Thanks everyone for your input. I guess grade inflation is rampant with Seated Halves too? If anybody wants I can now post full pix of both coins.[/QUOTE]
