[QUOTE="CrustyCoins, post: 659863, member: 19115"]This is my latest GEM from the last Heritage auction. It took me a couple years to find this variety and I found one about a year ago at the Santa Clara Coin Show in XF40. Not a perfect coin but good enough to fill a tough spot in a variety set. Then comes this Heritage auction. I was getting a bit itchy as it has been awhile since I added to my collection. Could not find anything based on Heritage's descriptions then the day before the auction I realized they made a mistake. They quoted a common variety but in fact it was not, it was the 5th or 6th most difficult variety in the entire series of 34 varieties. Out of all of my Classic Head Half Eagles this was the first that I actually upgraded. To make a long story short I bought this: [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868O1B-2CFLDS.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868R1B-2CFLDS.jpg[/IMG] From Heritage's Award Winning Photos: Money Shot: [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868OHeritage_.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868RHeritage_.jpg[/IMG] Crop of the Slab Shot: [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868OSCrpHerit.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DMS60PCGS06886868RSCrpHerit.jpg[/IMG] This is the coin being replaced: [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/becokacoins/Half%20Eagles%20-%20Registry/5D1835M1DXF40PCGS14110500-1B-2CFLDS.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
