Is the top set of pics yours? The coin looks over dipped in those pics. Way too white, really can't say that it looks like your type of coin. I'm used to you going for the crusty coins.
Maybe it's just the pics.....

What is your feeling about it? You like it?

According to the selller, It's a brand new half dollar that just happens to be 80 years old, never circulated or cleaned, and I agree.

Yes, top set are my pics. The lighting makes it appear almost white, but it's untarnished silver. Some might adjust the color, but alll my pics are WYSIWYG. When I purchased it I suspected it was better than the picture based on the background (white) bond paper looking two different tones of gray. I've found no wear and just a couple of very minor rim dings.

Very nice.
But the black toning on the reverse looks like it disappeared?

That black toning on B&W pictures was because the seller was adjusting the brightness down, hence the gray (white Bond ) paper. Those areas have natural shading to begin with coupled by the direction his light source was coming from.

My photos show the NEON light coming from directly above.
