vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 7:45 pm Thanks! I bought it for it's originality. No sign of a cleaning with way more luster in hand. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 8:29 pm The Capped Bust Half is an art form unto itself. Each coin has its own individuality and charm.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 12:03 am SC, both obverse and reverse have huge cartwheels in hand. Nothing subdued. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 12:08 am Yeah, but just look at the slight color difference between the area immediately around the devices and the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 12:30 am I see what you mean but different still in hand and under a loupe. Anyway, it is still considered a problem coin with the obverse scratches. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
