commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12271 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 8:12 pm Very nice coin! How's its luster? The obverse fields look very clean and I don't see any major marks on either side. The only things I see are a couple of possible light scratches on the lower left star point on the obverse along with a minor ding at its tip. I say MS-66. Excellent addition to your collection!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 8:43 pm Beautiful coin and a lovely addition indeed to any set. I wish we had better photos that show the luster ... luster means a lot for grading ... that said ... my technical grade opinion is MS65. I note the obverse minor chatter marks on the star wisely mentioned by commems ... and if you look closely you will some additional bag hits/chatter marks on the right leg of the eagle ... although the fields appear to be amazingly clean. The reverse of this design is so cluttered that it hides very well any issues ... and none noted by me based on these low resolution photos. Technical grade IMHO is MS65 ... NCG might have given it better. Lovely coin ... and a worthy addition to any serious collection.

Captain Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 9:34 pm Looks MS-66 to me. I have this Half in MS-64 yours is sharper than mine is. Great addition to your 7070 type set. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 11:56 pm The NGC slab images show the luster alot better than the ones in the OP, which is kinda "satiny" (B&W?) and a slight (not much) die rotation. Thanks for the feedback! Edited by oih82w8 09/05/2012 10:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12271 Posts	Posted 09/05/2012 9:56 pm I was surprised by the grade of 64 -- the coin looked nicer in the original images posted. The resolution of the images must have "hidden" a few marks that NGC felt were meaningful. In any case, you've got yourself a nice coin -- Congrats! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!
