Hello CCF friends, it's been a while. Still pursuing the circulated commemorative type set, though I haven't found a coin I wanted in months. Until now...
Spotted this Old Spanish Trail half on
ebay, which certainly appears to have a significant amount (for this coin) of honest circulation wear. Now, this same coin sold on 6/2 and must have been returned, and I've asked the seller if there was a reason for this. However, it certainly looks problem free to me... do you all have any thoughts on the surfaces, authenticity (looks right to me), and maybe grade?
Odds are I won't be able to afford it anyway, but I'm keen to learn more about it anyway so I know what to look for in the future.


Of course, Nickelsearcher designated this one as a "stopper" for the set back in 2014, a status which I doubt has changed. Maybe I'll try a bid if I can swing it!
