Raw upgrade from an ANACS AU58 1837 Reeded 50 Cents

[Nelrak aka Ken-migration]

I recently traded off my ANACS AU58 50 Cents piece to acquire what I think was a better specimen. Here is the ANACS graded coin I traded:

 

Here is the replacement coin I purchased last week. It's raw, bit I think it has better detail than the ANACS one.

 

 

What do you all think about the grade and if NGC or PCGS would grade it and not put it in a "Genuine" holder?

Did you purchase this on EBAY, if so who was the seller ??

Your new one appears to have a better strike and color. It also looks AU-58, in my opinion.

I like it at AU-55 and think it is a significant upgrade.

New coin definitely a big step up in appearance!! Sharper details too! Nice looking coin!!

 

It's interesting how many different die breaks there are on these 1837s. Why so many?

Congratulations on a great upgrade. Very nice superior strike.Will be interesting to see how this coin grades if you are so inclined. I think this coin is a couple of points better than the previous coin-not to say I agree with ANACS's grade, but definitely a better coin. Good move.
