I got this coin in a lot I won off ebay for about 15 bucks total. Had some old 1912, 1920's dimes, and some other stuff. However, this one was not pictured in the auction and I thought the seller had sent it by mistake. I contacted the seller and he advised that what I had bought was the last of his Canadian stuff so he threw this one in just to get rid of it.... MIGHTY nice of him.... I NEVER expected to get this nice of an older Half for less than 15 bucks... Any thoughts on a grade...yes I know it's hard to grade from pictures... When I looked at Krause and Charlton I noticed there are some big hops in price from EF up to MS-60... It's amazing how much one grade can mean to a coin sometimes! (edited to add... I don't think this coin is in the MS range or the EF range... just making idle chat)

<< <i>Appears to me to be really grundgy. Is this one of those coins that would be helped by a light cleaning(such as soap and water) or would that destroy the value of the coin to much? Olmanjon >>
Acetone should remove the grunge.

Very nice pics!! I am impressed at how quickly you have gotten the hang of taking close to "coin in hand" pics. Keep it up and people will want you to photo there coins!!! -Dan
