Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 758 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 04:50 am For those of you who called it at AU(58), good job, and thanks! I didn't notice the wear. For those of you who called it in the MS range, I learned a lot about how sometimes a great slider can be a much better buy and even type coin in a collection than a weakly struck or ugly MS coin. This is not my coin, but as an AU(58) I would consider it a steal if I was in the market, for practically MS details (weakly struck MS coins don't look as nice!) and such a great strike to be so much cheaper than a "real" MS coin.

Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 758 Posts	Posted 12/26/2021 11:37 am Thanks again, everyone, and Happy Holidays. I amassed common date uncirculated examples of Coronet/Braided Hair and Classic Head Half Cents a while ago, and have two borderline uncirculated Draped Bust Half Cents (One in an AU holder and one in a low MS holder). I am thinking I will be going for maybe an XF example of this type and I would be lucky if I could go for a VF 1793 type when it comes time to finish my Half Cent type collection (I will lump the 1795-1797 bust in with the 1794 bust--and I think I like the aesthetics of the 1794 bust way more--the 1795-1797 one looks kind of awkward to me). I join you all in envying this masterpiece, which to me, looks like several MS ones I have seen photos of (the spots of wear on the hair have shown up on some MS examples too!--is it strike weakness?).

Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 758 Posts	Posted 01/01/2022 02:48 am After reading the replies about my own 1833 Half Cent (which is much more "splotched" than this one), I am wondering if the dark spots on this coin are technically market acceptable environmental damage? Are these spots common on early copper? Report this Post to the Staff
