Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 12:31 am Hello Everyone! Nice little cherrypick; I think that it's nicer than Reiver's... they're still out there. Too bad NGC didn't perfectly center the coin before encapsulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5666 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 12:31 pm I wonder if you could rotate it in the slab slightly to make the 180 degree rotation more pronounced? Great pickup! Report this Post to the Staff

Great pickup! #1., The "obv" looks pretty well squared to me. If you did manage to square up the "rev.", I think it would throw the "obv" out of square. Quote: Coinfrog: and it's a Medal strike! #2., Being a medal strike would make that coin a keeper even if it were cleaned with a wire brush. Nice pick-up. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 3:37 pm Bit of a stretch to call this coin cleaned. I think it looks great. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 9:17 pm The rotated die census rates the 1/2 cent from 1825 as an R5, meaning 31 to 80 specimens are believed to exist with rotations between 90 and 180 degrees. Nice one! Report this Post to the Staff
