    Nice combination! Probably "moon money" too.

    I know the feeling! In the past I have found a couple of doily RE half dollars and they were all abused to heck and back.

    Please elaborate. I am not a gold guy.
    I glanced at the coin and it looked like a decent coin to me.
    Maybe a tad over graded but what else don't you like?
    I would love to hear your assessment of the surfaces, color etc.

    I will add that I am on a tablet and may not be seeing a good representation but I will check later on a better monitor.
    Just thought I'd try to learn a little something.

    Thanks.

    Hi Tom! You posted before I replied.
    I respect your opinion as well.
    What is your assessment?

    To me the color of the coin as well as the surfaces are flat and it lack character. A n 1846-D QE should have a nice green gold color and preferably have some retained dirt or crust. It has likely been cleaned in the past and while market acceptable, it is just a run of the mill coin without the holder that would struggle to grade EF40 today.

    Here is what an EF $2.5 can look like:
