<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 856804, member: 19165&quot;]Well, I watched this one on Heritage for about 2 months before the auction, thinking about it, dreaming about it, studying it. I had Mark Feld look at it for me. I hardly bought any coins the month before saving up for it - and now it is mine. And I&#039;ll bet most of you have never seen one!</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is absolutely fantastic - well mirrored, dark, gorgeous piece of copper. There is a subtle play of blues and pinks on top of a fantastic strike. This coin is now one of the highlights of my collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>The NGC census shows exactly 0 PL&#039;s graded - yes, zero. This one has not made it to the census, so I&#039;m guessing it is the only prooflike Braided Hair half cent graded. NGC clocked it in at 65PL - which I think is perfect for the coin. Mark says that prooflike half cents are very rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>This one, with a few other recent purchases, will be heading to California soon for the rock-star treatment by Bob Campbell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
