bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 6:56 pm PCGS guestimates there are likely less than 100 existing in MS67 up. Do I give this one a shot? According to the price guide the difference between 66 and 67 is over $1300 and a + almost triples that. The 2nd coin graded MS67+ PCGS. It looks like it has more scratches and dings than mine.

bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 7:55 pm The pic does not do this coin justice. Probably the nicest half I have ever held in my hand. And it came out of a loomis box of all places. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 06/28/2025 03:15 am Upon magnification of the pictures there are too many dings and lines/scratches for a 67. Reverse also has some dings on the eagle's tail. Edited by Marv65 06/28/2025 03:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 06/28/2025 04:06 am Good looking coin... But the reverse would hold him back. imo Hit by the H (lower left), hit on the shield and the hit in the stars above the R (lower right) running towards the rim. Great find in a box! Put him aside for a month or so and come back and review him again to see if he passes the muster for grading...I think he deserves a spot in an album. Thanks for posting. smat Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18635 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 10:37 am stunning toning and obviously would add to the value. the problem is there is just too many marks on both sides to pull a 67 and may not even make 66 so I'm with the others here, its not worth sending in Report this Post to the Staff
