bsshog40 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Not a bad price either. I hope it looks better in-hand as th only worry I would have is it looks really dark in some areas and don't wonder it it's gettin too toned. Still a nice one!

nunfa0 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Nice CBH!! Zboyle, it will be interesting to see that Peace dollar with better photos. It looks like you got a real good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg5658 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Bob, that is an absolutely stunning Half!! Here is my most recent acquisition. It's not a rare coin, or even a particularly high graded example, but it's a beauty nonetheless. This will take a spot in my US Type Set, Including Moderns. There appears to be a die crack prominent through star #3 and running along the left side through a couple other stars. The stars are all sharp except numbers 11, 12, and 13. Overall nice luster, with just a hint of patina/toning on the obverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics-fan3.14 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Picked this up from Buffalo Head a month or so ago. Just got it back from getting a TrueView. Beautiful half. If that's the one I think it is, I tried buying it from him. I just couldn't offer enough for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't know if it's the same one or not. It was actually sold to someone else when I asked him about it, but they sent it back saying it didn't have enough luster. I don't know about you, but I'm not surprised to see a 200 year old AU53 coin not dripping in luster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that coin looked familiar, I got th e-mail to release it from my registry set, I will do that once I get home as it will not let me do it from my phone. I am glad to see that it went to a good home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just back from grading, where it received a 64BN. A companion for this 1954. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zboyle04 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 end roll toned 1922-d peace. I love the dark toning, really unique and complex. The reverse is blast white with awesome luster . Both sides have very few contact marks and with the awesome luster it honestly looks like a MS65, it stand its ground when compared to my common date MS65's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1976 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 While my newest is not as high grade as the others that have been shown as of lately by others. I do find it interesting that what looks like a rim knock (1 o'clock position when looking at the obverse), it truely isnt a knock at all, but instead it looks like the symbol that was stamped onto the edge had been struck overly hard. Not bad for paying $25 for this coin. Yes it appears to be cleaned and if lucky VG to Fine grade, but its another well circulated bust half that can reside next to the 1832 Small letters, lettered edge O-103 I already have. I have actually grown an enjoyment in the well circulated examples of this type of Half Dollar coin as you can only guess about who may have handled the coin and what it was used as payment for during its circulation life. But, no way to find that information out. Pictures below dont show as much detail as the coin actually has, I'm still readjusting the settings of the camera to work with the homemade camera stand I had made.

brg5658 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 This is a new addition to my Sacagawea set. I haven't seen this variant graded by NGC, but it is a part of the "Complete Set with Varieties" in the Registry Set ATS. This is about the highest grade I can afford of this one.

Elbesaar Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks, all. It was a shame my raw MS 65 came back as altered surfaces in a Genuine Holder... made me a bit testy to say the least. I went to Platinum Night in Chicago with my good friend Ponyexpress8 and I picked this up for the 1921 date set as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
