Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 10:56 pm With the new pics i'd say a 64. PCGS looks at the devices more, and with the hit on the neck, cheek and hair, I don't think they'd give a 65 Report this Post to the Staff

Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 08/21/2017 1:06 pm I am aware of the grade and someone did nail it. It is a MS coin. From the auction listing " A fully struck example with an early die state reverse that has lightly cameoed devices on semi-mirrored fields. A very lustrous piece that has an attractive pale golden toning with light amber and slate blue accents in the legends and devices". A nice coin as all MS Victorian fifty cent pieces are very scarce.

Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 08/21/2017 4:47 pm Beauty coin, those dies are so sharp, looks specimen, though I don't think it's a true specimen. I'll say ms62 I can't rap my head around the coin looking a little handled even though it looks gem. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 08/21/2017 8:37 pm Both ICCS and PCGS gave this coin a grade of MS-63. I think it might have done better if not for the hit on Victoria's neck and some chatter on the reverse below and to the right of the crown. Thanks again to everyone who participated.

Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 02:29 am In my earlier post I was referring to TheCoinHunter as nailing the grade. This coin appeared in the 2000 CNA auction where it did not sell. It was graded as a PCGS 62 at that time. It was upgraded to a 63 sometime between 2002-2005 Congratulations Peter4805 if you achieved the upgrade. Best of both worlds as it is graded as a 63 by PCGS and ICCS. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 08:22 am Everest, I bought the coin recently as it is graded now. Thanks for the interesting back story on it I wasn't aware of any of that. Report this Post to the Staff
