That's right up my alley. I love it.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Just a matter of taste...I guess.
It appears that the first set of images and the second set of images are of the same coin, and are in chronological order. Are you suggesting that the second set of images represents an 'improvement'? I'm just trying to understand.
Nice coin; would probably have a stronger market with light conservation, could grade choice Unc./58?
I always wonder about the history on coins like this. Gentleman saved it for years, then someone else gets it.
Kinda between each pic, they were taken in different light
I really like that one!!

So, if I am understanding you correctly, then you did nothing to 'enhance' the coin? If not, then I congratulate you. I tend to favor the 'look' of the coin as shown in the first images, but it is a nice coin in any event. I tried for several years to acquire an 1863-S half dime in high AU grade, and with the right eye appeal. Several dealers assisted me in my quest, and I finally located the right piece. While the 1863-S half dime is available, it is very difficult to locate in eye appealing quality.
Very nice old coin.... good acquisition... Cheers, RickO
