I bought this because I love tab toned commems. I got it at a show recently but it doesn't fit into my collection because it does not have an Old Green Holder. Whats the grade? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  Edited by travis2005

Nice original coin and I love the color from the holder. I'll go MS65 because I can't tell if thats a scratch on the cloud or not.

MS64 really need larger photos to give a fair shot at guessing the grade!

Ok I'm still figuring out posting pictures and generally forum participation. That's my excuse for the spelling errors too. I fixed that and I will try to make the pictures larger a little later.

OK is this better? There are 3 small ticks on the obverse one to the left of the cloud one just to the right of it and one to the left of the "A" anything else is in the holder. The Reverse looks flawless to me.   Edited by travis2005

That size helps, if the obverse is as clean as you say then I will up my grade guess to MS66

Beautiful coin. Sorry to do this, but I have a dumb question... what exactly is "tab toned"?

I would assume it has to do with the way coin the toned with a little tab left untoned or I guess a large tab that did tone the coin. Guessing thought?

No need to apologize. These coins were originally distributed in cardboard holders that were used as a way to display or store them since they were really commemorative, and not really for circulation. If they were left alone for decades in these holders than they developed this type of toning. Its also an indication that the coin is original, uncleaned and not dipped, That's why I like them so much. In some cases they can command a premium for being tab toned as long as its not too dark.  |

I was going with MS66 ... truly ... but never saw the coin until it got moved to this forum. Lovely Delaware half ... did you know that the "Old Swedes Church" shown on the obverse still exists in Wilmington, DE and is still in service as a weekly place of worship. Great coin ... thanks for sharing. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
