Does this Cap Bust Half make the stman Seal of Approval?

stman always recommends that you buy a nice shiney white one.

He has been quoted as saying, "The crusty ones are bad, the white ones are good!"

I'll polish this one to a nice shiney- white brand new, fresh out of the mint look so that it gets the "OK" stamp by stman.

Oh yeah, the dies are rotated about 20 degrees.

No, I would not bother, it looks just fine the way it is. Normally, these coins should not come bright white.

I think 150 grit would take that toning off nicely................

I'm going to assume you're joking, otherwise I'll start getting agitated.....
I don't know if it gets his seal of approval, but it sure gets mine- nice coin!

Cladiator

It's got the official Clad stamp of approval....nice coin!!!

stman

Heh, I guess you haven't learned from the others that when you put my name in the title, the thread has an early death. The coin? You want the truth, can you handle the truth? BTW, find that quote from me would ya.

Yeah - that's a stman half alright - all crusty and dirty like he likes his Frankies and Kennedies

oldcam, that's a great looking coin (to me anyway). I guess I'll have to dip and brasso this one that I just picked up as well.

stman is pretty picky about his Frankies and Kennedys!

Admit it stman, you said it... We all know you did.

I can handle the truth...

The question is, is it crusty enough for you?

Exactly!

Well, we've got the half and the dime. Here's the Half Dime....all we need now is the quarter

Well it's got green and dark crud on the coin. How can that be appealing? Cool coin and congratulations. I'm assuming it has decent luster and looks to be in the AU55-58 range. If I'm way off no offense intended.

BTW, crust is a good thang.

crusty!

Thanks stman,

It's in an ANACs AU50 holder. I think it looks undergraded a little. I thint it is in the 53-55 range myself. It seems like ANACs is sometimes off on AU coins a little.

Nice crusty quarter Bailey! Cool dime flyingcougar13! Nice crusty 1/2 dime cladiator!

I was a touch high. I was guessing it had the luster to pull it up higher. Luster is king on these.

I will remember that as I look for more examples.
