Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 3:11 pm Glad I got this many years ago. They've gone up in price quite a bit. Currently residing in an NGC slab. What are your thoughts on grade and quality? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25008 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 5:21 pm AU Details (cleaned) But that is an absolutely beautiful coin, Jaobler. From the first year the New Orleans mint produce half dollars. If you're tired of having it around, just mail it to me and I'll give it a good home. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 01/02/2023 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/03/2023 03:21 am Here are some additional photos which were taken about 7 years ago. The coin color is more accurately shown in the first pair of photos. My original purchase was in 2002. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 01/03/2023 05:33 am I don't see any signs of cleaning in either set of photos, and I'm less convinced there is actual wear with the second set of pictures. There are some light scratches on the slab showing up, but there are also some hairlines in the fields. Based on the new photos, it might be a straight graded MS-62. Report this Post to the Staff
