A Rather Decent Halfcrown, Perhaps as Good as You Will See: 1839 Proof

IMO undergraded, but GTG. I will say apparent hairlines on neck are in relief, and NOT scrapes or scratches.

Well, just Love coins, period.

    Just judging by your tone I'm going to say it's graded 64.

    I tried to use the equivalent grading standard as for a LSH or Morgan - no hairlines on 20x magnification. Ex- Baldwin's basement if that means anything to you. It did get better than Cameo I will tell you though.

    A very nice looking coin! I'm going to guess it was graded MS64 but should be MS65.

    It graded PCGS 63 Deep Cameo

    I was shocked at the low grade. I sent another halfcrown that came back low and pushed back from a 58 to 63 later.

    I think what got me was blind tested against a 67DC the OP coin was judged equal - not my grade.
