Well, here's the 18th addition to my Philadelphia Mint Seated Half Dollar collection that I picked up last week.
I discovered a tiny obverse rim cud at k9 when I examined her in person with my loupe. There are also some reverse die cracks but they didn't show up in the pic.
It's a shame someone cleaned it because it has nice cartwheel luster.
1865 NCS UNC. Details, cleaned
Mintage: 511,400

Nice one JP. Maybe it will tone great in an album and cover up some of those lines.
? Doubled Date on that one by any chance?

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Thanks for the comment. I'm pretty sure it's a WB-101 Normal Date.

Wouldn't the NET grade be AU?
Here's the EBAY auction where I won it from EBAY Link

I collect Modern Commemoratives
and anything Franklin.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
This is a date I've been wanting to get for a while.

Wear from a harsh cleaning is wear. The coin, in my opinion, is now a harshly cleaned AU. My personal opinion is that you overpaid for it.

I think the price was fair. In hand the hairlines are not really that bad. It's not one of those polished looking cleaned coins, that have a Prooflike look to them.
Some retoning will do it some good. Thanks for your opinion.
