syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 8:54 pm Hello all, This is an 1826 bust half in an NGC XF 45 slab. It has some interesting colors around the obverse, mostly a blue-green color. It was very tough to get it on camera but I took a few photos that will hopefully help. The reverse is plain vanilla, nothing notable. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 05/09/2016 9:05 pm Sorry I forgot the 2nd question. Does something like this get stronger over time or does the slabbing freeze it in its tracks? Report this Post to the Staff

It should stop in a sonic sealed air tight holder but environment plays a factor. It's a beautiful coin IMO. Wholly original. Report this Post to the Staff
