I've been slowly working on this collection
and I was fortunate to have been the winning
bidder of this great looking coin:

<< <i>MFH, Based on the images posted it looks more like a AU58 >>
Broadstruck, I spent some time examining it
at Heritage's lot viewing room and although it
really is a very choice AU coin it has a tad more
rub than a true AU 58; it was nice enough for the
grade with JA's company though. I'm very pleased
with it.
Much more so than the coin I received from
a recent Internet Only auction of Heritage's, an 1838
Reeded Edge Half in an AU 53 PCGS holder.
I'm returning the 1838 RE Half to PCGS as I feel the
coin doesn't belong in a graded holder, just a Genuine.
This coin didn't show the large amount of hairlines on-line.
I'll have it with me in Baltimore - so - you'll see it there !

I don't see a problem with the 38 in a 53 holder. JMHO.

<< <i>Glad you got the 1837 buddy. I liked it too. Your '38 is nice as well just a tad too white for my taste but very meaty nonetheless. >>
Glenn,
The 1838 looks like a 33 1/3 vinyl album with all the hairlines
which HA's images didn't capture. The newp [ 1837 ] is a great
looking coin - and I'm glad I previewed it - as my not previewing
the 1838 was an expensive error - and - although the images don't
show the surfaces correctly - the coin going back to PCGS.
I forgot to take it with me to Pittsburgh because it was already
in the bank and I was pressed for time before my flight.

There is just something about the overall surface and
appearance of the coin, that I find most attractive.
Also the 1837 in MS-68 is a real WOWSER. Nicely done on both coins.
