One thing that threw me a little off is the lack of hair detail in 72 compared to the 73

In 73 a new obverse die with larger beads and more detail was used, similar to the Quarter.  Edited by JimmyD

Paulz what did you think of the 1870 1/2 dollar in that auction... I know it was only a VF but I was tempted to go for it.. ended up 1st bid won it for 150!

ohhh dear... I mean... the bidding on that item was CRAZY... I am almost convinced to send in my own 1870... I think it went for $2250... (perhaps they thought it was a "no LCW").....
Ummm that's it!!.. just don't check the past auction bookmarks for awhile...
What really got me crying was the number of "solid" notes that either didn't sell or sold for the 1st bid!
