The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 7:40 pm Hey all, Thrilled to present my new (to me) 1926 U.S. Sesquicentennial Half! I posted earlier this week about a very low grade one I had my eye on, but I spotted another that I decided I'd rather have and won that auction. Here it is: Obverse: Reverse: What would you all say as to grade? I think F15 or VF20... I really like this coin. Enough wear to appreciate the history behind it, but enough detail left to tell the design. Thanks, TSS Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15627 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 05:56 am Nice looking example. This one has much more eye appeal than the prior true lowball you showed. I'm going with F15 as the technical grade. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 100060 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 5:47 pm I would go with a VG grade as well here. Nice coin though, nice pick up! I bought one a few months ago for my type set.

The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 5:19 pm Brief update on this one! It arrived and I was finally able to see it in-person! I'm not uploading any more pictures, since the ones above (which the seller took) are probably better than anything I could produce. It looks great in hand, and has a nice spot in my collection now!
