love this coin and its originality! Purchased from my local dealer Alex Barna, one of the great dealers who actually cares and looks for particular pieces with a particular look. Obverse color came out really nice. Reverse looks like the obverse but this shot(Auto Balance), my first taken out doors had a change of sunlight in the last second before the auto shot clicked!

Here's the images from the links above.

Great-lookin' half. You're right- it has "the" look.

Nice! What're you calling it? XF45? I get sort of hung up on those since strike strength varies so much in places like the clasp and the claws it is really hard to tell amount of wear from degree of detail, especially without the coin in hand with magnification. You see some with whomping incredible strikes and half the features recut, almost like deliberately high-relief designs, and others that are really flat.

Dunno what he'd call it, but I wouldn't say EF45, personally. I'd call it a solid EF40, though.

That coin does have "the" look. Really nice piece.
