I got this delightful 1772 British Halfpenny in the mail today, a great addition to my "Mad King" type set.

ANACS MS-60 BRN

Nice coin.

Looks better than an MS60 to me. ANACS is always very tough on darkside coins, especially older ones.

Aethelred · January 31, 2004 7:48AM

I am considering a crackout and resubmit to PCGS or NGC.

That's a nice coin, Dead One. I can't tell by the small photos, but if it's a 60, then it might go 62 or better. I don't see anything that would hold it back, unless there's rubbing. But ANAS would have caught that with their 30X eagle eyes.

60, 62, whatever. It's a nice coin. Boy, Spinaker sure has some good giveaways, doesn't he?

1jester · January 31, 2004 8:44AM

Wybrit, I have yet to discover that!!! Cheapskate is more like it....

spinaker2000 · January 31, 2004 9:06AM

Only because you have "Deep Pockets" Jester!!

Glad it will have an honorable place in your set Michael.

Nice coin. Terry, did you submit that yourself?

spinaker2000 · January 31, 2004 9:12AM

yep.

cosmicdebris · January 31, 2004 9:13AM

Hey is Terry sending one of those to all of us? If so mine did not arrive yet.

Aethelred · January 31, 2004 9:14AM

BTW - the scan does not catch it, but the fields are really flashy and there is an overall PL look to this one.

Aethelred · January 31, 2004 9:24AM

<< Hey is Terry sending one of those to all of us? If so mine did not arrive yet. >>

He said he was, but mine came with a bill?????

ajaan · January 31, 2004 9:25AM

Is it blue?

Aethelred · January 31, 2004 9:26AM

<< Is it blue? >>

Could I see it if it were?

ajaan · January 31, 2004 9:27AM

<< Could I see it if it were? >>

True.

spinaker2000 · January 31, 2004 9:28AM

<< Is it Blue?? >>

Would I sell it if it were??

True.

The coin looks quite attractive and it may make sense to send it to PCGS or NGC for a second look. MS60 seems alittle tough...especially if the fields are fairly clean and there are PL surfaces.

Steve27 · January 31, 2004 9:32AM

Super coin, please send me one too.

I'll have to consider sending it in for crossover, I don't think I want to crack it.
