Friday Night Eye Candy- Reuniting 2 Old Friends

I purchased this 1899 Simpson Morgan in the Heritage sale last year, I’ve posted it before, incredible blue with intense mirrors



On the other forum Laura stated it came from the most incredible proof set she ever saw, and she was sad it got broken up, but that the half was coming up at GC
So I went in GC and it had no bids
Here are the GC photos


So with a single bid at the end of the auction I was able to reunite two old friends



I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I am blown away by this half- it is incredibly toned and has deep deep watery mirrors- it’s literally the most beautiful Barber Half that I have ever seen. I’m thrilled to be able to put these two coins back together, where they will remain for the foreseeable future. The Barber also deserves a 68+ in my opinion. Now if I can only find the rest of the set!
