Yep, first spouse all the way.

it just seems to me, in an anacs slab net graded at 15 it would do
well.. as in 500+ easy.
i mean i would not chase it either, i threw a fun bid of 350ish at it..
i just thought it was neat to see it go so low. ebay might become
a reasonable place to find half eagles again.
VF+ details, and any $5 Charlotte will never go for less than $600 nowadays--I don't care what the price guide says.
Wow. That was way cheap. What's the downside on that coin? There is not downside at $400.
I would love to have a holey Charlotte or Dahlonega one day, if I can get one cheaply like that.
The trouble with stuff like that, and the Bust dollar I still need for the Holey Coin Vest, is that many of the coins that got holed ended up repaired. I re-holed the 1856-S quarter-eagle on my hat by drilling out the crude plug in it, but I probably wouldn't want to re-hole a coin that was expertly repaired.
I don't have anything against a little graffiti sometimes, if it is interesting and doesn't completely murder the coin.

Agree. The graffiti is all in the field and an expert in coin repair could easily smooth the surfaces and it wouldn't be detectable.
