I picked this up and it is just an awesome coin. 1840 Seated Half in MS 65. I only see these pop up mayyybe once a year. So I grabbed it. Thought Id share an awesome piece of history and rare coin. And it is a monster toner. Sometimes trueview distorts the color. This one is just WOW!

    Great pickup no doubt. The color pops through my 20 year old computer screen. B):p

    Nice. I prefer slab pics especially on seated type coins. The color is usually not there. Its visible in Truview pics only sometimes.

    Nice to see actual color visible to the naked eye.
