Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 12:44 pm I think there are potentially good buys lurking among common-date no-motto half eagles. As the bullion value has increased the price difference between no-motto and with-motto coins has shrunk. This coin caught my eye so I laid out the cash. How do you think NGC graded it?

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 1:39 pm I really have no idea, but to take a stab at it. She's a beauty but there are a lot of marks. I'd almost say that someone tried to clean her. I'll say MS63 with details. Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 2:20 pm I'd guess AU-50. Lots of detail, especially on the reverse; but I dont see enough luster to go higher. If it wasnt for the detail, I'd say 45. Here is my NO MOTTO type example. It graded XF-40 by PCI. Edited by johnny54321 02/15/2011 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 02:03 am Good graders at CCF, as usual. Luster in-hand is somewhat stronger than shown in the images and surfaces look nice and original. I'm pleased with this purchase! Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/25/2011 04:07 am Does the shield actually have cross-hatching like that? Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I don't recall ever seeing that before. Report this Post to the Staff

I never noticed it until I inspected the picture. Next time I get to my safe deposit I'll pull the coin out and check. Report this Post to the Staff
