    I like it, the rim hit is pretty minor to me. Looks liks decent color/patina, almost looks like a bit of residue in the upper obverse field, but that could just be the image. Is there a die crack on the eagles right talon ?
    Regardless, overall a very nice coin.

    I'd pass. I think the 30 is a bit generous and I don't like rim nicks.

    Looks pretty solid and original for the grade to me.

    Half dollars are big, heavy coins and I'd expect a few minor contact marks/rim nicks compared to a half dime or dime.

    Yes, it's a tough date, and I'm also surprised it CAC'd.....

    I’m still learning and a newbie but in my rookie opinion I think the coin is beautiful

    It is a decent looking coin with original surfaces, but if VF-30 adds something to the value, as opposed to VF-20, I think that the grade is a bit generous.

    It's a VF30. I think it'll probably CAC

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 36,605 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Personally, it's not a VF30 to me. But it's a solid coin

    Nice old coin... I think the grade is likely right if the coin were viewed in hand... pictures can be a bit harsh. Cheers, RickO
