Collectorama Lakeland, FL NEWP: 1835 1/2c PCGS 2 Old Holder

So-so show overall. I'm noticing shows are full of either lowgrade cheap junk, problem coins, or nice stuff that would be nice if graded correctly but is overgraded and therefore overpriced. I found one coin for my AU58 Type set, and it happens to be in a PCGS 2 holder, featuring the rattler slab inside a seperate shell, produced in OCT and NOV of 1989. The reverse really makes this coin, unfortunately the slab has a decent scratch though.
Enjoy:

I also picked up a nice May 9, 1776 $3 Continental Currency noted, PCGS AU53 PPQ, but that is for a different forum.

    A nice-looking half cent, and a scarcer slab. Good pickup!

    The scratch on the slab seems fairly deep, but perhaps one of the plastic polishes would help.

    Yes, I saw that coin - one of the few I even looked at, at this show yesterday.
    Usually a good show, but yesterday I bought NOTHING at all image

    nice coin and by coincidence my 1835 half cent serial # begins with 736xxxx. Maybe they knew
    each other way back when.
