I am pleased to share my latest purchase which I received this Holiday weekend!!
I totally love this 1822 NGC AU-55 Capped Bust Half Dollar because of its blazing golden (brass shell casing colored) mint luster and its overall beauty!!
The obverse looks as lustrous as the photo below, and the reverse has equivalent luster to the obverse (i.e. better than the rev photo). The darker area at 9:00-10:00 at stars 3-5 on the photo, must be a shadow, because it is not at all visible on the coin in hand. WOW !!!

Here's one of mine. Not as colorful--it's been dipped--but still a nice one.
Happy Independence day everyone, great coins!

Ok, Bailey, if you insist...
and just for those people who think halves are all I have...
<< <i>no nice crustys? >>
You NEED to go get some then.
Its mandatory
I know, I know....I've got the bug.
I posted my question before seeing your pic......
I've got nothing special...here's what i got.
Edited to add: One thing it isn't is 62. If rub doesn't count (and we all know a little wear doesn't mean it isn't MS )then it is a gem.
