I love bust halves, nice big coin, tons of beauty.....in a zoftic way.....but then again, i like miss morgan too....and.......

Ok, is she dipped and retoned, probably in my mind.........but still slabbable at the P and the N and maybe Anacs

Is she a BB for Cleaning???

Is she grossly hairlined in person........

Whats the seller like?

Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    I can't tell much from the pictures other than it looks pretty nice.
    The seller does not post a return policy so I would e-mail and ask.

    I disagree. I do not think the coin is "junk." It has strong EF+ to AU details and some luster, but appears to have some surface issues, perhaps cleaning and/or some substance applied. I believe the coin has a value somewhere around a VF+ to EF+ depending on the extent of the surface "work" It could possibly be AU or even AU+, in hand.

    Now, maybe the bidding has already reached a level where one should "pass", but it's not because the coin is "junk," it's because it's bid up to more than it's worth, and maybe is overgraded by the seller.

  • I don't think it's junk, but it's definitely not "original," to say the least.

    I think that AU is good for the amount of detail and it would probably net down to AU50 by anacs, perhaps lower.
