New purchase-what do you think?

Here's what I recently purchased. It's reported to be Unc and was only $40. What do you think? I'm NOT a commemorative guy. So far I only have two and they're for my type set. One's an MS 70 West Point that I made. Thanks in advance! Ray

Charming look that really speaks "commemorative". I like it.

THANKS! He also had this barber, which I thougt was pretty and bought it. As SOON as I het the BUY button, I noticed the bottom of the rim on the back of the coin. Would this keep it out of a PCGS holder? Looks like a nice XF 40/45 to me otherwise. Thanks again in advance! Ray
PS: this one was $65. If it doesn't slab, it will look nice in my Dansco.

Very nice columbian half. I did the same thing a few months back. I found a very original '83 with deep toning similar to yours. I paid $35. Sent it to PCGS and it came back MS64. It should have went MS65. I like yours a lot.
