I never see them look like this too often, this one is mostly red and very lustrous. I'll probably get this one slabbed.

Wow. Great pictures, too. I can't recall ever noticing the stonework and windows in the lighthouse before.

Great-looking coin, and an outstanding photo!

I had her half-sister slabbed last year.

Thanks for the props and replies all! Jim, what grade did you get on the half-sister? I'm guessing 64 RD. Mine is mostly RD, but there's probably enough BN in there to go RB for mine.

Erik,

Good guess. The 1862 ½d is a MS64RD.

Well, I submitted that penny to PCGS at the New Orleans show and got the finest known!

I'm not sure what something like would be valued, but I think it's pretty cool.

Nice! Finest-known on an 1862 which you submitted raw yourself! That must feel like a hole in one.
Well done, sir!

Congrats on your top-pop! There's something about the richness of old red copper that appeals to me, and your coin is gorgeous.
