What do you bust half folks think of this one?

I wish I could appreciate bust halves like this one, but I can't. The white centers just throw me off too much..... what do others think??

    1. Looks to shiny to be circulated. Cleaned.

    2. Toning looks suspicious, especially on a cleaned, circulated coin.


    At least it's a no reserve so that the market can determine the price. image

    I agree with you. The cleaning is not delicate, and for me, the toning only highlights the poor surfaces. For a common date, why bother?

    Cleaned, album retoned and just ok....would have to be a very inexpensive coin for me to pick it up.
    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.
  • Is it just me or has the broach pin on the drapery been reengraved?

    I wouldn't touch that coin. Very 'unnatural' looking.
