sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 11:30 pm The contrasting differential toning may be hiding a few tiny nicks and scratches. It would be easier to grade this one 'in hand'. Assuming that they may be a few more tiny ones which I cannot see, MS62. Usually with these the reverse grades higher than the obverse because there many more high points to protect the rest of the design from nicks and scratches. Same thing happens with Australian Elizabethan florins. Report this Post to the Staff

YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 11:45 pm Low MS. The reverse almost looks proof-like. I washed that kind of toning off my recently purchased sixpence because I thought it would look better. My mistake. Report this Post to the Staff

OldCoinGuy Valued Member Canada 154 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 6:59 pm In the early 1970s my wife (at the time)worked at CIBC and brought home a mint sealed bag of 1963 halves she bought for face value. I can't remember how many were in the bag but I am thinking 500?. Anyway, I kept it for several years but the prevailing opinion at the time was that 63 was a large mintage and that date would never be worth must more than 50 cents each. I cashed the bag back in at the bank. Not one of my best decisions. Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 11:22 am Yeah... not the best decision made. Let's see... $250.00 in half that, nowadays, could be sold for around $5000.00. Report this Post to the Staff
