My latest crusty half

I love the look of these older halves. The VF35 grade works for me as the wear and handling allows the coin to take on a patina I find attractive, albeit dark.

    The darkened crusts give it an eye-appealing contrast. Nice looking crust, nice looking coin! image

    Pat, it just doesn't get much better than than with darker fields, lighter devices, the 'circulation cameo' effect on gently worn silver! Addictive!! Nice pickup.
    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    Thank you, kind gentlemen.

    Putting together a type set of these halves with this exact look is challenging.

    Gorgeous. The hair almost looks 3D within the photo due to the toning. Nice grab.
