Hold on to the coin real tight while you're polishing it up

That way everyone can see your fingerprint

    <<This coin is definately worth getting graded as the value will go up tremendously!>> Then why isn't it already graded? I never knew that a bodybag would make a coin's value "go up tremendously!" image

    "This is one of the best looking (POLISHED) Seated Half dollars you will find. This coin came to us in a large collection that we bought (WE FOUND THIS IN A BAG OF JUNK COINS). It looks like it just came out of a bank roll (MORE LIKE A TOOTSIE ROLL). Every piece of hair is clear and defined. The rim is raised and sharp (TOOLED TO THE MAX). The shield clearly reads LIBERTY and every line on the shield both the horizontal and vertical lines are sharp, raised and defined (MORE EXPERT TOOLING). Her facial features are clear (NO ACNE), her dress is defined (RAN THE COIN THROUGH A PRESS). The back of the coin is as sharp as the front (MORE TOOLING), almost prooflike (STOPPED POLISHING JUST BEFORE IT BECAME AS THIN AS A DIME). Every feather on the eagle is clear (NAIL VARNISH), the shield on the eagle shows all lines and is well defined. All lettering is clear and raised and the rim is perfect (RIM DINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FILED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE).

    There are no Scratches or dings or any problems with this coin (ALL VISIBLE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN POLISHED OFF)." image

    Cheers,

    God- that looks horrible. You know, there was a day when collectors would have thought that looks pretty sharp (minus the print)!
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !

    When I saw this picture, I was suspecting another seller defiling the memory of a NASCAR driver, but this one is not a surprise, either.
