trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 12:04 pm I'm looking for grading opinions on this 1937-D Arkansas half. I really struggle with photos of silver coins & these are about the best I can get. Report this Post to the Staff

henryjamesbuttons Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 1:31 pm As you can tell by my icon this is one of my favorites. I dont feel confident grading it without some discussion. I see no circulation wear. It looks like a nicely struck coin. The only problem I think are those bag marks. Luckily they are not in terrible places though the one across the Libertys neck is a bit of an eye catcher. I've seen them in worse places before on this coin. These are hard to locate without bag marks. I like the mild toning and it hasnt been cleaned. Now, having said this, is it an MS 62? 63? Probably. Is it an MS 64? 65? I dont know, but I'm thinking its not. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 7:37 pm That is a lovely coin and yeah, it's too bad about the bag marks. I think I see a couple of tiny grease spots, too. However, I don't see any wear on it. My guess -- and really it is a guess -- would be MS62. It really is an interesting coin. Might have to get one of those. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 11/26/2012 08:49 am I've got 3 of these(P,D & S) that came from a collection. In hand I'm not seeing any real wear but they all have what appears to be strike weakness where the ribbon crosses the eagle on the reverse. The other 2 coins have similar bag marks & also a slight haze in some areas. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 11/26/2012 9:04 pm The bright photos make it difficult for me to grade this coin ... agree with all that was said above regarding bag hits and dark spots. I am going with MS63 ... nice coin and a lovely example of a well-preserved low mintage calssic silver commemorative. Hoping to see more of these from you in the future.

Tom B Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 08:45 am It seems to have unusually reflective surfaces and this worries me. Has the coin been lightly wiped or polished? Report this Post to the Staff
