Can that be re-phrased for the sensitive crowd? Joking, just joking, and it is a neutral gender statement, so.....
I haven't seen them in hand and didn't spot it until after my bid. I am fairly sure that it wasn't there when it was slabbed as the only 1835 O-101 to receive the AU-58+ grade. I'm afraid, however, it's on the coin which will probably entail a trip back to PCGS to get it removed.
Will be interested to see your pictures when you have them in hand! You picked up a couple dandies for sure. I jumped on the auction site where you won these examples. Holy smokes, does he let loose some beautiful CBH's!
VERY nice x 2. The first coin I ever had graded was an 1819 Capped Bust Half...found it at a local rural Indiana estate auction for $150 and it graded AU55/PCGS. Like a dope, I sold it, but I could easily get lost and go broke with these.
I actually purchased the 1830 first. At 4pm they emailed me tracking. At 730pm I ordered the 1834 lol. I couldn't quit looking at it. They are both pcgs xf45 grade.
