Unusual tone for the date:

Nice looking half. Is the hint of blue in the scan on the coin?

Frank,

That is nicely toned and tough for the date. It also looks very well struck which is unusual for the date. My 1962 PCGS MS65 FBL is a typical white blaser. It would be cool to eventually find a really great toned example. Scans are tough to grade by but it looks MS64/65 and possibly FBL. Nice coin.

It's really neat Don:

It looks like antiqued bronze with blue, purple and gold highlights throughout. Beneath is a really brilliant coin which makes the coin look almost lacquered. You get a sense of it on the scan of the reverse a little bit.

Mike:

It's in a PCGS MS65 holder, but a new one - I would easily give this coin an MS66 without thinking about it too much. I think the previous owner tried to hit a homerun with it and came just short. It is also a very good strike with FBL's that are unfortunately interrupted by a very unfortunate hit right smack on the bell lines! Ah the sadness of it all! - but still a pretty coin!
