BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 5:51 pm Good color and luster. The reverse strike hurts but MS63 should not be a problem. Has a chance at MS64 if it got a break in the grading room. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Omegaraptor Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 6:06 pm 55 or 62. The strike is weak, which is to be expected on a thin, tiny coin minted 160 years ago, but I feel like it would affect the grade a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18717 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 6:22 pm thats a really strange strike on the reverse. almost looked like it was polished but there are definitely no polish lines on the coin and you can see the weakness carried through on the obverse to the left of the shield and the stars on the left side. maybe lightly circulated but the strike will affect grade probably one full grade Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 7:07 pm Might even be a Greaser on the reverse. Obvious uncirculated with no hint of luster breaks. I think a 63 is very possible. Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 10:16 pm I'm at MS-64. 65 if the reverse wasn't Struck Through Grease. Report this Post to the Staff

Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1096 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 3:42 pm Its truly my favorite Half Dime. Amazing luster except for the weak strike on reverse. Thanks for all the thoughts on it. I am posting original slab and then I sent it in to CAC. Report this Post to the Staff
