thanks! This is my first PL and I had to have one so I would really know what they looked like when I seen one. Pictures just didn't do me justice in being able to tell the difference between high luster and PL.

Winston,

 

Nice coins, but wow! Your picture taking abilities sure have gotten to be impressive. thumbsup2.gif

 

I really like the ’48 cent, but then like you said it came from Hoot. wink.gif

Here are some coins that I acquired from James (EarlyUS). He graciously allowed me to use his excellent photos of the coins. The first is a very attractive 1838 RE Half. While the grade is low (VF20) the eye appeal is high. This is an exceptional circulated coin with honest wear.

The half dollar is my favorite denomination to collect. I love original coins that have lots of character and eye appeal. This 1859 Seated Half is a delightful coin. The only weakness to this coin are some minor scratches to the right of Liberty's head. In hand they are not noticeable but are visible under magnification. The coin grades VF30 with the scratches taken into account. There is enough luster to grade higher but the wear keeps it from a higher grade.

Another super original Seated Half from the Carson City Mint. This is not as lustrous as the 1859 above but a very attractive coin in its own right. Evenly worn and a nice two-tone example of a desirable branch mint coin. VF35

An 1898 Barber Quarter. This is a phenomenal coin in hand. Clean, plenty of originality and luster. A very nice piece!
