Hello my friends. I recently saw this 1841-O half dollar, pics are down below.   And it is about 100 bucks. I wonder if it's a good deal ? All comments are welcomed. |

Tad dark for me. Odd reverse strike. Is that pinkish hue accurate?

I also think the reverse is a little bit weak striked, there is a contrast between the more severe wear on the reverse and the less worn edge. Is there such a weak strike fact on the reverse of 1841o? This should have been taken under strong light irradiation·
Thank you

Looks legit to me. Obverse hairlines indicate possible cleaning. $100 is about VG-F price.

Certainly genuine, but just not a fan.

Ha, yes, "fan" has many definitions as a noun or a verb. In this case, "a person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular person or thing", like a "fan" of a sports team or performer. "Not a fan" means doesn't really like. Since your location is China it's easy to understand that you'd be confused by the word, since it also means an object that blows or moves air, the act of blowing air to cool something, increasing the strength of something ("fanning the flames"), dispersing something ("fan out").

This particular example is 1841-O WB-5, Large O. Obv. 4, Rev D with R-4 = very scarce (population estimated at 76-200)

I like it, agree obverse shows signs of an old cleaning and toned over. Obverse - F, Reverse - VG.

Weak reverse F-12 details. Older cleaning.

"Not a fan" means I just don't care for it as shown, not something I'd want to own.  |
