WB-104 right? Just got this off ebay. Haven't received it yet. I am a bit worried about the possible rim nick at 9 oclock on reverse. *Sellers images/scans   |

AU-53
I'd agree with it being WB-104.

Great details. Rim nick will not get it a details grade (IMO ofcourse). I'm around MS-62. Don't see ant wear. Although because this is a scan, I can't accurately grade on luster and validity of the fields.

AU-55. I see a little bit of rub on the higher points of the obverse. Not sure if it is a rim nick or just something discoloring the surface of the coin. Nice coin!  I don't know enough to comment on the variety. Edited by Joe2007

beautiful half dollar
there seems to be friction on her right leg/knee area and then enough surface abrasions that it might just not make MS, tough call. I would love to see the luster when you get it in-hand.
It's very well struck for New Orleans and the foot separation as well her how well her head is struck makes me wonder if you got one where they reused the proof dies for business strikes. It was common practice at the mint in those days.

I think it would grade AU-55, possibly AU-58 if it's lustrous and not too much friction in the fields.

AU58 for me on this one. Nice original coin! Love to see how much luster this coin still has.

I pulled the trigger because of the variety and just how strong the detail looks. I hope the luster is strong. An AU58 of this variety sold for > $1000 at Heritage out of the Newman collection but I think partially due to provenance, idk we will see. Thanks for the feedback and I'll post new pics when I get the coin in hand, which is as of today is on it's way  |
