I had the chance to buy a fully PL MS version of this for $30 at a show. I was on a budget, so I had to pass. One of my many regrets to this day.

In this kind of situation, I would just assume that on closer inspection I would have found evidence of polishing on the surface. Hence, no need for regrets.

Buzz Killington, you said "The value of even good coins will be in trouble, unless the collector base replenishes itself, which is far from a certainty." What do you mean by that?

I mean that the "numismatic" value of a lot of coins will only hold if young people grow up to be coin collectors. These coins that this gentleman posted are basically junk, no matter what. But there are a lot of MS65 Columbian halves out there, and unless people value them, even those "good" coins (one example of many) will not hold their value.

I got my coin! Or well, I ordered it :-)

Any thoughts? I liked how this coin looks and it is slabbed
