Color continues to look oddly even for a natural circulated coin. Can't tell squat from those newer pictures. Blurry, pixelated, bad lighting, out of focus - take your pick! |

AU53
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The last set are so much better. My "Pet Peeve" is people posting bad pictures then after people reply they come up with better pictures - doesn't anybody use the "PREVIEW" option FIRST before they send their posts anymore? Sorry, not directed at you CoinAlbum but just happens so many times. Looks to be a very nice Half Cent. But if AU, maybe a 50 - too much wear in the hare (  ) hair details. Edited by Marv65

I was experimenting with a ring light but its too close to the coin and changes the color. I should of posted photos like these in the first place.  You can try out this option on CCF: http://goccf.com/f/1 |

AU-50 is a very solid grade with a chance at upgrading at PCGS.

It's dark but does look AU, or darn close, if there are no problems.

Before looking at opinions, judging from the 1st set of pics ... I had it at a 40

just goes to show you how lighting and angle can radically change the look of a coin. the new photos look like an AU50 and possible 53 coin. any Half Cent in that range is a really pickup |
