Hello.. got that half and was amazed by its condition and luster.. what would you give it? Could it reach 67+ ?   |

I'd say MS-67 sounds about right. Very nice!  Errers and Varietys.

I'm wondering about the marks in front of his chin, by his cheekbone, and under the word WE.

can you repost the photos without overhead light? its causing glare on the surfaces. anything above 66 comes down to minute details. scuffs, discoloration on surfaces, small ticks and marks.
did you purchase this or find it. if you found it, where was it? just curious

Might be but photo lighting is so bright can't see the surfaces clearly.

you are still using either a flash or overhead light. the glare is still the same. turn off the lights and just use the ambient lighting in the area.
the coin looks good but we can't give an accurate grade

I'm thinking MS66. Suggest not handling the coin with bare fingers/palms. Appears to be a touch of Machine Doubling on the reverse through HALF DOLLAR. |

Well then ya better hurry up and send it before the oils from your fingers starts reacting with the coin.

I am very careful.. wash hands with soap and touch it from rims for less than 30 seconds, was very sure not to touch the surface.
