Nice coins fellows..  I have 3 1910's but not that nice.  Artdio, what is that line going under the Kings jaw on your 1910 Victoria leaves coin?

Kinda looks like it may have had tape on it at some point. Awesome coins, everyone. You should stop though because you're kindling an interest in 50 cent pieces in me...

@ Shafta, I'm pretty sure its old toning.. There is no residue of tape . But I might try a little acetone soaking to see

2 perfect parallel lines... to me I think there may have been tape on the coin at one point...
Addict: I love the look of your 1910 AU-58.... the golden tones are soooo beautiful!

Thanks AG. There is a small story behind this piece which I acquired from Lighthouse Numismatics about 5 years ago I think.
The coin was submitted with hopes for MS62 but ICCS came down hard on it. I think that the original owner may have suffered a financial loss and threw in the towel. I just happened along at the right time and traded a whole bunch of stuff to acquire the coin. It cost me about 105% of Trends at the time but sometimes one has to pony up the dough for the nice stuff. I'd do it all over again if I had to.

105% of trends isn't that bad of a pill to swallow! Especially when it's something you really want for your collection.
I have knowingly paid a LOT than that in terms of TRENDS percentages just to pick up a piece that I really wanted. I know I will NEVER recoup what I paid..(a bit silly I know) but I wanted that coin.... (the coin I speak of will be posted in this thread a little later on.... 1946 )
You have something VERY special IMO there.... so cherrish it... and that extra % you paid ... well you reap that in what I call "owner satisfaction".. can't get it back monetarily... but who cares..!
Have I mentioned yet how much I LOVE this thread!
