Well... I think I just don't get it
First visit is to China... two common 1934 y-345 Dollar coins were submitted. Common yes but there was a potential for condition rarities and both graded MS64 and I thought 65 quite possible
next stop is Deutschland and specifically Prussia... an 1850 2 T which graded AU58...
And we now have an extended stay in Canada
A 1943 Half graded MS64 which seems fair considering the overall eye appeal which is exceptional
A 1951 Half graded MS64 which was a major disappointment... I don't get this grade as it is probably one of the better George VI half dollars I have seen raw. Slam dunk 65 if not 66 on the right day
Then we have some quarters... At least the 1955 graded MS65 which was the highest grade in the lot and the 1953 graded at 62... . All the others where George VI dated 1940, 1947 and and Maple leaf 47 were 63 another one I just did not get how that one could possible grade 62.
I submitted 2 1967 Dollar coins- one was a 64 and the other 63... no commentary because I don't recall which one was which in the order of the submission. I will comment on this later because the obverse on one was exceptional but the reverse was not of the same quality and I don't know if that one was the one that graded 63- I tend to doubt it
The last stop is Mexico and an 1810 8R graded AU50 which was fine.

The timing was excellent and I should have mentioned that in my initial comments
The 1937-45 Halfs are coins I rarely see in 64 and higher.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Post some pictures and give the gallery a shot at grading, that is always fun.
Well, just Love coins, period.
