Well that certainly went to the far end of the 'bell curve'. Cool.

Quote: Well that certainly went to the far end of the 'bell curve'. Cool. True that. I attribute it to the players lack of insight into the rarity and demand for these coins. I ask you to consider that every time I've posted an honestly circulated member of my classic silver commemorative set many (not all) of the guesses seem to react with a kind of 'must have been found in the junk bin' guess. Fact is there is a small but dedicated set of collectors who pursue these coins and the rare appearance of a truly lovely example such as this inspired spirited bidding amongst us. I purchased it raw - and took all the risks it would certify. 1918 Illinois (Lincoln) Centennial Half Dollar - PCGS AG03

Congratulations on your set and this coin. Well done. I like the wear. The circulation wear shows that it has been loved like the Velveteen Rabbit. I can imagine how many hands it has been through to put the nice even wear into its character.
My dilemma in going high was wondering if this might have been one of those rare examples that you got a great deal on. I lucked out.
Nickelsearcher, Thanks for sharing some of the pieces from your set with us.
