BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 11:24 pm Congratulations on picking one of the nicest sets to collect, a classic half....short lived though. Pictures a little dark so hard to see luster but I believe that there is. So that being said and with the scratches on the obverse and reverse and some tiny nicks on the obverse I would give it a MS63. That being said its a decent coin for your collection. Oh yes I seem to see some doubling of the date and the United States of America especially the the small a in America. Report this Post to the Staff

tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 12:06 am I'm seeing wear on the cheekbone, temple and forehead. It's a stunning coin otherwise, but I have to say AU-58. Edited by tkbslc 05/30/2015 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 01:48 am While I had it out to shoot the date, I examined the cheek/forehead area. I see no sign of wear. I am getting better pictures, but still working on the shiny stuff. They never quite look like they do in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 02:51 am Ok, I'm sure I'm just seeing things then. If that is not wear, then it is definitely MS-63+ Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 07:01 am I don't see any wear on this coin. I was going to mention some doubling going on date and reverse. but that appears to be answered. I see plenty of mint luster ,I'm sure this half looks gorgeous in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
