Very nice!

Just a reminder, do not reveal what you paid. This will be used in GTP Season 33! Yes, I got your e-mail.

Geepers ... you posted this in the middle of the USA workday less than 4 hours ago ... and somehow are disappointed in the lack of immediate response.

You do realize (I hope) that most of us actually work for a living ... our time here is freely given as volunteer contributors ... and there are many other things in my life that I could be doing on a Friday evening rather than supporting your inquiry.

I'm going to put that behind me this time ... and offer my personal evaluation ... was very tempted to just take a pass on this one.

First ... indeed to the wonderful world of classic silver commemorative.

Your 1952 Philly mint Washington-Carver has a net mintage of 2,006,292 coins ... making this one of the most available classic silver commemorative out there.

Impossible to judge luster by the photo ... so with that key grading element removed I offer an opinion that this coin may well have been circulated ...

Grades somewhere between AU55 to MS63 depending on remaining luster. If true luster exists I say MS63.

I could offer an opinion on value ... but I'll withhold that for GTP.

I am gonna say AU-58 looks like a bit of wear on the obverse high spots.
Nice coin a good one to start your classic half collection.

Never disappointed from my experiences with CCF. My only intention was to bump the topic so it didn't get lost.

Always appreciated.

By all means, don't let me hold you up.

This coin shows very good cartwheel luster.

Can't wait to see this in GTP.

Thank you all so far...

My guess is MS-62, since it has some very noticeable bag marks on the obverse.

"Namaste..."


Ahhh....that's better!


I see EF-40 for this coin.


I'm looking forward to seeing the details during an upcoming GTP!!
