jpcienkus Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Great looking 1/2 Reale Bill. That obverse is stunning. The reverse strike doesn't look weak. Just looks like a heavy rub on the coat of arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looks like a heavy rub on the coat of arms. I think your right Joe. It looks like a bad scrape. The coin is considered by many to be worthless anyway since it has salt water corrosion but I can overlook that as a trade off for the historical significance.

FranklinHalfAddict Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have no idea how to grade this half as it is way out of my typical collecting interests and I bought it because it looked good Can you folks suggest a grade? Best, HT Very nice. I have no problem with a 66 FBL on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coindude Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I agree, that Morgan looks like it has awesome color. I'll bet we'll be more impressed when Eric has a chance to put it under the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physics-fan3.14 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 1881-s PGS MS64+ That is a really cool and unusual color, especially to find the whole coin with that uniform of a tone. And I freakin' love the textile. Fantastic coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLM Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sorry but do to a mess up I do not have obverse images now and it may be a while before I have any. The obverse is a solid 64-white except for just a hint of russet toning at a spot or two around the rim.
