    I don't see that as a keeper. Dark scan, perhaps a rash of hairlines, doubting original surfaces on a 62...mintage 600 not 60...with about 1/3 slabbed. It doesn't appear to scream "BUY ME!" Is this look desirable on Seated coins? Might be some marks left of the eagle in in those Reverse fields...I'd pass.

    The pictures aren't the best, but I personally like the coin. If it is a coin you have been looking for, and it is within the price range you desire: Go for it!

    Talk about bad pics/scans.....sheesh.
    They're definitely not making any efforts to pretty it up for you.

    It's a decent 62 proof seated half and probably a better buy for you then some of your recent strike thru mint errors image

    Good luck on the ASE and you never know on the Buff as someone might come along whom it appeals to.

    Can't tell much from those pictures/scans. Personally I usually avoid grades of 60-64.
    There are some exceptions, but not many. I would prefer a nice 58 over those grades
    most of the time.


    Here is a nice Jefferson I got from GC.

    I took a pass. I am not real particular on lower graded proofs of this era, as the premium is minimal considering the rarity.

    Just was not in a buying mood tonight, and got outbid on a couple of Morgans from the same sale.
