Don - Tough to really tell from the photo. Looks like touches of wear in the hair and lots of little hits. AU-55? Color looks odd in the photo - an old cleaning? - Rob

Rob, it may be cleaned or dipped. Staples is usually pretty good at describing a coin as cleaned if it is. I also was worried about the color but I'm going on Staple rep. for this. I can always return it if it's been monkeyed with.

Seriously, though- looks nice.
I won that 1901 half you pointed out to me, BTW- did I tell you that already?
I saw that you bid on that piece at Staples eBay. It looks EF to me. Did you win it?

I've bought many coins from Staples - all graded correctly IMHO. One of my fave sellers.
