I posted this in the new acquisitions thread. Those were the seller pics. Someone posted the toning is AT. Now that I got the coin in hand, I took my own.
Hard to tell what caused the varying colors - I've never seen anything like it. My gut reaction is AT - what can I say ? The REV looks good though. I would say the coin will grade AU 55 "if" it grades. I'll post some new images later.
LOL - we must be using different screens ! Anyhow - I just installed Windows 10 - lets see how this works - so far so good. Belongs to a good friend whose selling his collection.
For those who enjoy higher end Halves - my friend, Peter Shireman is selling his Half Dollar collection at Tampa FUN - thru Heritage. Peter has been my mentor for years and we have sold each other coins for well over a dozen years. I have bought two of his 92-O Micro O's - one in 55 and the other in 63 when he upgraded with a 65. He has my old 11-S/s in PCGS 66 - POP TOP - ex: Friend collection. One of my favorite coins in his collection - not the most expensive, just {IMHO} one of the prettiest:
Finding an 09-O in the Boston area, Mike, is unbelievable !! Congratulations. I found one for my set as well, but will hold off posting it.
Actually, I was on vacation in Houston when I found it. A little closer to its origin assuming it stayed local for 100+ years.
