Boy...That auction description should be on a web page for all new collectors to read.

I do not collect halves, and do not know the seller, but I would have no qualms in bidding on this item. His description is first rate, his terms are great, and his return policy is generous.

Braddick said it is the truth, I have read it, and I concur.

Well said Anaconda!

Cant argue with the truth. Kinda makes you buy it just because of its outstanding description!! The coin isnt bad either!!

The left side and reverse of Ana's coin sort of looks like the color of toning on this Walker I have up in a "PCGS" holder. Just a different pattern.

Nice coin! And the guy is correct. It don't matter a bit what the holder it is in and there are premiums in PCGS, NGC holders.

In the recent Bowers sale here in CA (Rarities Sale) there was a set of Buffalo nickels up for grabs. There was an incredible 1919-S in MS66 that was a complete FULL STRIKE. I had NEVER seen one like this...EVER. Oh...did I mention it also have amazing rainbow rim toning? Yikes! OK...what happned? Well, most of the coins were going for big money. A few lots earlier a 1916-P in 67 went for $10000! $10,000!!? For a friggen COMMON 16-P? Yup! All because of the Pop Report, I'm sure. Absurd. Well, what about the 19-S...a REAL rarity? It goes for MS66 BLUE SHEET money!! Huh??! That's right, Blue Sheet.

Makes no sense, right? Well, I forgot to mention that the 19-S was graded my ICG. I guess that made a difference....eventually the coin will be in a PCGS holder, possibly in 66. It was a great buy at Blue Sheet...believe me...even if PCGS grades it 65, IMO.

I'm just wondering if Anaconda is really J. Peterman, based on the long-winded writing style.

Really nice coin and he went into the toning & holder arguments as well as anyone, but I have a question. Why does this coin have what appear to be several carbon flecks or hints of dip residue on both its obverse & reverse?

I don't see this sort of thing on Walkers (though I haven't looked at as many of them as some people on this board), and it is more prevalent on copper and nickel than silver coinage. The coin obviously has not been dipped (no dipped coin retones like that). Just curious.

There was a lot of talk about TRUTH around here this weekend. So I had to dig up this thread to see if it was here.
