Looks clean in hand too and the mirrors are nice and liquid to match my other WLH PF. I've decided to pick up the set next. 2 down.

    I like it. I always go for the near-cameo look.

    Looks great.

    Black mirrors and frosty devices.

    How a proof should be.

    I'm guessing the lines in the field are the only thing holding it back.

    I thought that as well from the pics but in hand they are on the holder. As you shimmer it around in the light you can see the petroleum rainbows in the plastic. The fields are actually very clear. The metal flow striations are also not as bad in hand so the liquid fields are there. Not sure whats holding her to 64. I can chalk up a $40 windfall in value if I ever decide to spend $50 on a regrade :smile:

    A great many proof coins (with light hairlines that don’t show in their images) look undergraded.
    The coin does have a very nice appearance.

    Very nice looking half dollar. The cameo look of Liberty adds to its eye appeal. Congratulations.

    I considered the possibility that they might be on the slab, sometimes, It’s very difficult to tell. I’m really glad to hear that. In that case, this coin is a minimum 65 all day long maybe even higher. I really like it.

    Nice coin, looks like there may be friction in the middle of the reverse.
