Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 1:12 pm Hello Everyone! I hope you're enjoying a great day so far... picked-up this one last night. The images are scanned. The original toning looks super-thick, and the coin looks clean. There is some light Machine Doubling at the bottom obverse (dbling of the denticles gives-away that), what look line rolling lines front and back, and a small spike at the junction of the throat and neck. can't find a reference for the spike, if it is "something". Any comments greatly appreciated! Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 11/09/2023 1:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 2:53 pm Maybe, Bogey, but where did it come from? Any lamination would fall into the deepest part of the die there, and there is no evidence of that Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 11/09/2023 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 3:06 pm Looking at this particular coin is like cloud watching. You need an in-hand view to make a remotely accurate guess. If I had to guess, I would say that is simply the toning pattern. Suffering from bust half fever.

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 3:44 pm What's interesting is that the cheekline to the neck is stopped at the end by a few mm; looks to be struck that way Report this Post to the Staff
