....the ....originals.... yikes.
Could you mail it to me just to ...touch... it?
Wait. The postage would break me. No...wait..again... it's over the Reg limit so the ARMORED CAR would cost too much.
As you were.
WOW!

Congratulations, Regulated! >>
Between the Half and the stealth Union that I showed you at Dave's table, I had some fun at the show...

There are few coins that transcend numismatics, but that is certainly one.

That's it. Just... wow.
Are you kidding me!?

Hi Craig,
The obverse die crack from the nose to the rim is characteristic of the original CSA halves, but there are some restrikes that also have the die crack. However, the restrikes have a crushed look to the obverse as that is the way they were struck. Plus of course the weight is more for the originals, because the restrikes had their reverses ground off before restriking. Of course we can't determine weight by the pix, but the die crack and the non-crushed obverse clearly define this coin as one of the 4 originals.
