I'm with shadow on this one.. I was thinking VF-35.. and details due to the reverse rim. Gorgeous coin though.. That's one details coin I would love to have in my collection!

The iridescent toning is what does it for me on this coin, cannot really tell if it's a circulated proof or not. VF-XF.

It's actually pretty funny since I didn't even know this coin had such nice toning until I broke it out of the slab.

A nice pleasant surprise!

Another nice seated half Moe!! I'd say 3 out 5 slobbers on this one or VF-35, looks like some might go low XF for the eye appeal though.

Yeah, I think the obv could be an XF, but the rev holds it back.

I'm actually suprised that would slab @ PCGS. Do you have an image of it while it was in the slab that you can share after the 'guess the grade is done'. I'll go with 35.

Wow - what a difference. Still a very attractive coin in the holder, just very different looking.

VF-30 as a conservative estimate, very possible 35

Was just wondering. I could tell by the 'look' of the surfaces; his coins have this look often. He also has many rare date seated liberty and bust coins, unlike other sellers so that was the tip off too.
