When I check it on Klause 's book,the guide price is too high and unreasonable.Did the book make a mistake again?thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74090 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 09:05 am I'd grade it at AU. EF seems kinda low. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1656 Posts	Posted 10/12/2025 11:51 am Grade and price are two considerations. Another is eye appeal. This has none. Pass on this one, OP. Report this Post to the Staff

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 10/14/2025 6:36 pm I don't think it looks that bad but if you don't like dark toning you won't be a fan. Detail does seem AU but the coin was likely net-graded due to the rim hit and somewhat negative eye appeal. The 1861-S half is a fairly scarce coin and is priced higher than many other dates. PCGS XF-40 examples have sold in recent auctions in the $300 - $500 range. Report this Post to the Staff
